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.
