Kid Logic: On girls

Four-year-old Minion: "Mommy, who can I invite to my birthday party?"

Me: "Well, who do you want to invite to your birthday party?"

Ticking them off on his fingers: "Ashton and Bryce and Theo and Mitchell and Boy Riley and ... Girl Riley, too. She freaks me out."

Me, with the classic double-take: "Wait. She does what?"

Minion, matter-of-factly: "She freaks me out. That's what girls do. They freak boys out."


My kid. The Genius.

Hilarious. Wonder what he'll say when he's much older - like, uh, six?

Hell, I'm 35 and girls still freak me out.

I love that there is a girl Riley and a boy Riley.

The logic is classic too.

Six year old girl a few weeks ago: "Is Ryan coming too?"

"Yep"

"And Jake?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, I'll play with Jake, but not Ryan. Ryan makes me nervous..."
