Last night, while eating dinner, Wonderwoman began to tease Supermangirl about a phone call that she had just received from a boy in her class.
Wonderwoman: So, do you like Avi?*
Supermangirl: He's OK.
W: Is he like, your boyfriend or something?
S (annoyed): No!
W: Well, maybe he could be your boyfriend. Is he handsome?
S: I don't know. What difference does it make?
W: Because you want a boyfriend who's good looking.
S: Yeah, well, that's not the only important thing. He also has to be smart and nice and treat you with respect.
W (chastened): That's true.
Is it possible? Could it be that all of my lectures are not totally in vain?

This made me smile.
"treat you with respect" - wonderful!
Keep talking! We may not always believe it but somewhere someone is listening to us.
You gave me hope :)
Wow that's really heartening to hear!
Very cute!
That's adorable.
I don't think our lectures are ever in vain. Just talk!
Yay Supermangirl. And now they've both got the message.
Good chizuk for me- thank you.
I do not have children, so I cannot relate. However, I still enjoyed the story.
Loved this! There is hope!
Whenever I try to talk with my girls about boys, they roll their eyes and groan!
