... but it has finally happened, and I was there to witness it.
My 5 yr old daughter was on the school playground after school. She very emphatically hates boys, but the only other kids out there were three boys from her class. The small group played tag for about 20 minutes before one of the little boys walked away from the group to where my daughter was playing on her own...
boy: I have to tell you a secret
girl: what?
boy: I love you more than cheese sticks and I'll let you catch me when we play tag.
I don't think I've ever seen her look more smug and repulsed at the same time before. You could tell that she liked the compliment, but that the "ew, it's coming from a BOY" impulse was too strong to ignore. He offered to tell her another secret, but she looked at him like he'd just gone off the deep end, said, "no, I don't think so", and ran away.
