"Caroline, what does it mean that they are your boyfriends? Do you hold hands?" She responded, "No".
"Sit by each other?"
"No."
"OK, so you have these boyfriends, but all it really means is that you all know you like each other which makes you too embarrassed to even talk to them, right?"
Jonathan decided to pipe in, "Pretty much."
Caroline defended herself. "We talk!"
"And what in the world do you have two boyfriends for?" I continued.
"Because mumsy, I need a boyfriend and a spare, in case one doesn't work out."
"Work out for what?" I asked, genuinely curious. "And when and how will you know one hasn't worked out?"
Jonathan piped in again from the very back of the Suburban. "Maybe she'll keep both of them, mom. You've always said girls are good at multi-tasking."
What could I say. "I didn't mean boys when I said that."
