Important life lessons

Adding to the drama of yesterday was this little exchange...

Mary: "Freddy is my boy buddy!" grinning big, waving to Freddy as he walks by
Molly: "Freddy is MY boy buddy!"

and so it begins...
"No, he's MY BOY BUDDY!"
"He's MY BOY BUDDY!"

and then it proceeds to wailing...
"But I love him. I NEEEDDDD a boy buddy"

At which point I am compelled to intervene. Big hugs and wiping of crocodile tears. And very serious words. "Boys are great friends and fun to play with. But you never, never, never NEED one. This is a life lesson sweetheart. Boys are great, but you never, never, never NEED one."
