When do little girls begin to notice
•the difference between them and lit-
tle boys'?
• - Kaitlin, as regular readers know, is
our almost -six-year-old grandbaby.
She has been a great friend of her
granddad for a long time. We go
horseback riding together and fall
down snow hills together and conspire
to buy licorice and jube-jubes
together.
Except for her dad, I have been the
only male in her life. Until now, that
is. The other day she confided to me
that she did not like boys.
"Why? They're gross!" she replied
and the grimace was akin to that of
her grandmother when she sees a
snake. "They want girl friends just so
they can show off to other boys. They
do not want a girl friend because she
is a girl."
"Yucchh! Some boys are ugly.
They have dirty hands and their noses
always seem to be watery."
I suggested that maybe. just
perhaps, or now and then, a girl might
have a watery nose.
"But we know how to wipe them,"
she said. surprised that 1 would have
the temerity to criticize girls.
What, I asked, has caused this sud-
den dislike of boys, people she played
with for the last three or four years'?
"Blame Jeremy, she said. And
what did Jeremy do?
"He met me by the maple tree in
the schoolyard and said I could have
half his apple at recess. He said my
eyes were pretty and then asked me
to marry him when we were both 21
years old.
"Can you imagine? Just because he
gave me half of his Granny Smith, he
thinks he can marry me. It was an
old, soft Granny Smith, too. Are all
boys like that, PawBob?"
(It is the term all our grandkids
use, this PawBob. It is a contraction
of Grandpaw Bob).
• "Like what?" I said, stalling for
time.
"The minute they give you
something, they think you want to
marry them," she said.
I suggested that, perhaps, some
boys are like that but not all of them.
"Well, all my boy friends have been
like that and I have had nine of there
this month." she said and held up 10
fingers.

Nine in one month? The relation-
ships must have been unusually short.
I said. Nine in one month -- 10 if you
count fingers and thumbs upraised -
is a bit thick even for an attractive,
articulate, delightful, fey, beautiful
girl like you, Kait.
"Not really. Tammy has had 14 in
just two weeks. They all inet her
under the maple tree and they ended
up under the monkeybar and that
means they were going steady," she
said and tossed her head disdainful-
ly as though Tammy were nothing but
a tramp.
"That's really serious, then, when
you meet under the monkeybar'?" 1
asked in all innocence.
"Of course, silly. Nobody can see
you under the monkeybar."
I was afraid to ask what could hap-
pen under the monkeybar when
nobody can. see you until Kait said
Tammy stayed under the monkeybar
until the apple was all gone.
Two kids, I figure, can get rid of a
Granny Smith under a monkeybar in
about two minutes, give or take a se-
cond or two, if they also eat the core.
"Tammy calls them names after
she eats the apple and they run back
to the ball field with the rest of the
boys. I always say thanks for the ap-
ple and that's when they want to
marry me.
"PawBob, do I always have to be
polite to boys? Can't I just eat the ap-
ple and run?"
Now what would Eve have said in
answer to that question'?
