Little Girls

[PrincessFiona]

It starts early. My 9 year old had her friend 'jennifer' over to play. Her other little friend, 'brianna' was not there. I overheard Amanda and Jennifer talking (keep in mind, these 3 girls play together all the time as well as individually and are great friends). "Brianna is just...well, you know...weird..." "I know, isn't she" So...I burst into the room and said "Brianna is your friend and I'm sure she would be very sad to know that you are talking about her like this, wouldn't she." Both girls mumbled yes, and then walked away rolling their eyes.

Oh man, you guys....what will it be like when she's 13.

Luanne...don't tell me!!!!

I wish I could remember where I read this, but there is an article talking about how girls begin beinge socially maniplulative by pre school---stuff like saying I won't be your friend, etc.
