"How was school today?"

"Okay, I guess."

"Just okay? You liked it so much this month, since Ms. Smith is back."

"Yeah, it was just okay."

"Why just okay? Was it one of your classes?"

"Not really."

"What, then?"

"I hate recess."

"You hate recess?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"Everyone has a girlfriend."

"What?"

"Everyone has a girlfriend but me."

"Oh, honey... It's okay... it's a little early to be serious about
girlfriends."

"I don't want a girlfriend!"

"What's the problem then?"

"Nothing."

"What? Nothing?"

"Yeah."

"You sure?"

"Yeah.... No. Yeah. It's nothing."

"What's going on, dear?"

"All the boys had girlfriends. I want a boyfriend."

"You what?!"

"Nothing."
