"That's Not Your Friend!"

Today at church this kid comes up to Ben in the hall (I don't think this kid is in our ward...) anyway Ben introduces himself and they get this friend bond thing going haha! Well we were saying goodbye and Ben says, "Bye friend!" And Amelia says it too, "BYE FRIEND!" And Ben says, "That's not your friend..." and Amelia is like, "uh huhhhh!" And so on...then Ben says, "He can't be your friend he isn't a girl!" I was like, "Benjamin she can have friends that are boys...you had Avery as a friend & she was a girl!" And he says, "I love Avery and it makes me sad she is gone far away :o(!" She moved away a few months ago. My kids need friends! There is only one kid that lives by us now & he is always gone now so it's been hard :o(. We want to move where there are a lot of kids, but we need to get better jobs 1st! ugh!
