Stranger Danger

This was my conversation with Kelsie after preschool today:

Me: Hi Kels! How was preschool?
Kels: Good

Me: What did you learn about today?
Kels: Um… fun stuff

Me: Really, more specific?
Kels: Um, fun play stuff

Then I finally got out of her that they learned about dinosaurs.

Me: Did you learn a song about dinosaurs?
Kels: NO (but then she started singing something about happy dinosaurs and baby dinosaurs)

Me: Hey Kels, I heard you learned about stranger danger today.
Kels: Oh

Me: So, what’s the rule? We never talk…
Kels: About strangers.

Me: Um, right. We never talk TO strangers. We also never take candy…
Kels: From a stranger. Or a dog. Just only from people.

Me: Hmm. (It took everything inside me not to laugh out loud) So, let’s talk about who strangers are. Is Brittany a stranger?
Kels: No

Me: Is Grandma Suzy a stranger?
Kels: No

Me: Is that boy walking down the street a stranger?
Kels: No

Me: Yes he is! People we don’t know are strangers.
Kels: Well, he’s just my friend.

Me: No he’s not. We don’t know him. Strangers are people we don't know. What about those construction workers at Gay’s house? Are they strangers?
Kels: Um, no they are only Gay’s strangers.

--  Generally I'm a pretty patient person but I could see this conversation was going nowhere. We’ll try again another day with the stranger danger rules. Silly girl.
