* after school on the walk home *
Mom: Hey buddy, how was school today?
Brady: Good.
Mom: What's one thing you learned today? * I ask Brady this every day after school *
Brady: Nothing, we had a substitute teacher today.
Mom: Did anything good happen at school today?
Brady: Well, Ayla said that she was happy that I've worn my new Habs hat to school every day this week!
Mom: That was nice of her. Is she your girlfriend?
Brady: Noooooooooo!
Mom: You sure?
Brady: No.
Mom: Why aren't you sure if she's your girlfriend or not?
Brady: Well, she likes me. She said so.
Mom: Do you like her?
Brady: I don't know.
Mom: Well, she's a nice girl - she's very smart & pretty cute too.
Brady: And she's a Habs fan & she said she wore her Habs shirt to my birthday party just for me!
* long pause *
Brady: Okay, yes. She's my girlfriend. I'll let her know at school tomorrow.
