Time: few weeks ago
Players: myself and Molly Kate, very newly aged 7
I was passing through the kitchen on my way to the bedroom when Molly Kate asked, "Ms. Leah, did you know about me?"
Did I know about her? I've been friends with her parents for over ten years, and I've been visiting them over the last several years with some regularity, perhaps not as much as we all would like, but still I don't feel myself a stranger at their house. We've been camping together. We've been to museums together. I've been her chaperone to and from the bathroom. I've played Nintendo DS with her and her older sister Kenzie.
Did she mean did I know about her before she was born? Children so often want to know if you knew them when they were still in their mommy's tummy. That blows their minds!
I walked back into the kitchen and confusedly asked, "Did I know about you?"
"Yea," she replied. "Did you know about me? That I've been making eggs since, like, last year."
