Half Friends

The first day chica told me about a boy she was friends with. She tells me that this boy was mean to another little girl (M) and yelled at her. After telling me the story, she states that she isn't going to be his friend because he is mean. I explained to her that they could still be friends but maybe she needs to kindly tell him to be nicer to people. That was on a Friday. Monday afternoon rolls around and we talk about her day as usual. In the middle of the conversation she is going on and on about her day and she says

"you know my half friend"
me: your what?
chica: my half friend.. you know, the boy that was mean to M
me: umm, yea. Is that what you call him? Your half friend?
chica: yea, because he is mean

The conversation went on longer but that is all I wanted to really talk about. Her "half friend" oh my goodness. How my child's brain works just simply amazes me. I get it though. She is half his friend becuase she is unsure if she wants to be his friend because he is mean to others. GO HER. I give her props.. she took my advice, stayed friends with him, but is going by her own judgement on if they should be friends. I take it her opinion is half right now?.?.




UPDATE:  chica and her half friend are no longer friends. "he yells at other kids all the time"

Well, good choice.. lets move on and find kinder friends!
