Do I Need One?

6 year old Matthew: I broke up with my girlfriend today, Mom.
Me: Really? Is it because you never see her?
Matthew: Yeah. I just decided today. So I broke up with her.
Me: Well, do you have a new girlfriend yet?
Matthew: No. Do I have to have one?


Background info:
About 2 years ago we had a yard sale with some friends of ours. That friend had a neighbor with a daughter who was Matthew's age (Margot). Margot's Mommy let Matthew play at their house all morning and then took them to the library where they saw some of the players from the Nashville Ballet perform. I heard tale that Matthew got up in front of the other kids and danced with one of the players (SO not my child). Then Margot's Mommy took them to eat at Provence (not a place that I would generally take Matthew). Matthew came back all a-chatter about his magical day. Fast forward a few months, they call us and invite Matthew over for the day. Matthew goes and has yet even more fun. That was the last time Matthew ever saw Margot. I don't even know how to get in touch with them anymore! It's amazing to me that after all this time Matthew remembers her and remembers that we Mom's had mentioned to each other that they would make such a cute "couple". Matthew and Margot. Matthew with his platinum blonde, straight hair and gorgeous (if I do say so myself!) blue eyes and Margot with her head full of black ringlets and huge green eyes.
Makes me want to peek into Matthew's future...just to see.
