We were at our usual Saturday morning soccer game. William was with a gaggle of boys playing electronics and Gemma found a set of small people to play with. This Saturday, there was only 1 other little guy to play with. This did not stop her one bit.
She would play for awhile and then run back for a few moments to check in with us. Then she was off again to play. One one trip back to us, I asked Gemma who she was playing with (I already knew the answer was a friend named Cole).
Gemma's response: I playing with my boyfriend.
I have to tell you. My heart stopped for a just a moment. I was not ready to compute a child of mine having a boyfriend.
Just to be sure I was understanding, I asked again: Who are you playing with, Gemma? Is it a boy who is a friend?
She looked at me with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, mom. I playing with my boyfriend."
And then she was off running again.
