conversations before bedtime - life lessons from the andrew sisters

mommy: Well who did you eat snack with today?
P:  Micheal.  We're best friends now.
mommy: Really? Did he say he was your best friend?
P: Yeah.
mommy: Well, I think he says that rather loosely.
P: What does that mean?
mommy: Does he say that to anybody else?
P: Yeah, B.., R.., R.., C, E.., L..,.......
mommy: You see, if everyone is your best friend then it's not special to be called a best friend.
P:  Confused look.
mommy:  It's like that andrew sisters song "you call everybody darlin', and everybody calls you darling too." 
P joins in:  "You don't mean what your saying, it's just a game you're playing.  But you'll find someone else can play the game as well as you.  Maybe better. If you call everybody darlin', then love won't come a knocking at your door.  knock knock. Who's there?  Not love.  And as the years go by you'll sit and wonder why nobody calls you darlin' any more."
P: oooohhhhhhhhh

the end
