Mom- Awww Did you have a good nap, girlfriend?
Carys- uh huh
Mom- Good.
Carys- Mom, can I tell you something that hurts my feelings?
Mom- Sure, what is it?
Carys- Well (with tears ready to fall) when you call me 'girlfriend' it hurts my feelings because I am not a girlfriend, I don't look like a girlfriend and I don't like when you call me that.
Mom-(Now I am crying) I'm so sorry. I didn't know it hurt your feelings. I won't say that anymore. I promise.
Carys- Ok, I forgive you. I like it when you call me Care-bear though, so you can call me that if you want to.
Mom- Deal!
I am so glad she feels so comfortable to let me know what is bothering her. It was too precious to see her little face tell me this today.
