So we took River to the park last week and on the way into the park this little 4 or 5-year-old girl started telling us about dip n dots ice cream. And she talked to us for a couple minutes and walked away. Later, she came to talk to me again. I was standing there watching River on the swings and the other little girl came up to me and started a conversation.
Girl: I have a pet dragon.
Me: Well that's pretty cool.
Girl: Yeah. He gonna eat someone for dinner tonight.
Me: That's not very nice.
Girl: They'll be wearing a red shirt.
Me: Uh huh.
Girl: (she nods over at River) Is that your kid?
Me: Um.... no.
Girl: Well that's okay. She won't get eaten. She's not wearing red.
Crouching behind have a few feet away was a little boy. He was talking into one of those tube things you can hear in a different part of the park. He was wearing a red shirt.
Girl: (she nods towards the boy) But he's gonna get eaten, because he's wearing red.
Me: Alright.
At that point I started to walk away from the girl. It was kinda weird.
