A couple of weeks ago, on a Friday afternoon, I picked Zoe up from school and she gave me the ominous: "I have something to tell you when we get home".. which is Zoe speak for "I have something to tell you that I only want you to know". I told her that it was just her and I in the car, and asked if she could tell me now. She said: "Roll up your window".
Z: I playing soccer with the boys, well really, I was cheerleading because I'm good at that. Matti came up me and asked if I liked him, I told him "No".
M: I see, then what happened.
Z: he turned over [walked away]
M: So what did you do
Z: I couldn't do anything, he was playing
M: How does that make you feel
Z: I don't know why I said it. I like him. He is always nice to me
M: Well what do you want to do about it
Z: I don't know, that is why I'm asking you
Well, we talked about this for a few weeks, coming up with different solutions.
Yesterday Zoe came home and said:
Z: Have you arranged a play date with Matti yet?
M: No...
Z: Matti still won't answer me when I ask him who he likes
M: So what do you want to do about it
Z: I want to tie him up and make him answer me
M: you should draw a picture about that.
[and she did.. I"ll post it next)
