Girls Rule, Boys Drool

Peanut has three friends who live a few doors down from us that she calls her "little friends". Her little friends are over fairly often and when they are, I spend much of my afternoon coming up with ways to entertain all of them. On a recent visit, I wasn't feeling too creative so I gave them some paint and paper and told them to create. They were hard at work for quite awhile and then asked me to inspect their work. There, hanging on the front gate was a large painted sign reading "GIRLS ONLY".

"It's the girls club, mom. That means no boys allowed."

And so far, she's been surprisingly strict about that rule. Rico was granted passage, as were B, Uncle Jim and the cousins. Grandpa and Poppa were also allowed to pass through. But the part I love the most is that they are only granted passage from the gate to the front door. No stopping, no loitering, just proceed as directed. Apparently our little "area" in front of the condo is now a boy-free zone. How long do you think before Brother is banished from her room and that sign goes up on her door??
