Wednesday afternoons are taken up looking after Cordelia, a 6 year old, going on 18.  We have some interesting conversations.  Today's went something like this:

Helen:  So, Cordelia, who's your best friend at school at the moment?

Cordelia:  Hmmm, I'm not sure.  Well, there is a boy that I WAS in love with.  But I don't love him any more.

Helen:  That's sad.  Why not?

Cordelia:  Because he did something that wasn't nice.

Helen:  What did he do?

Cordelia:  He took a bogie out of his nose and ate it.

Helen:  Well that's a good enough reason.

Cordelia:  Yes, I thought so too.

End of conversation.
