Two little first graders, T and Z, were swinging on the swings, giggling away....
T and Z: missmolly,missmolly,missmolly,missmolly!
Me: yes?
T: are you gay?
Me: ummm...no. what makes you ask?
T: we were just wondering.
Me: yeah, i get that. but, why? i mean, what was the topic of conversation before the question?
T: nothing, nothing. we were just wondering...
Me: i know, but how'd you get onto that topic?
T: well, we were teasing M. (a preschooler) that she's gay, so we just wanted to know if you were!
Me: why would you tease M. about being gay?
T: 'cuz she was acting gay!
Me: um, T., do you know what "gay" means?
T: yeah.... "married"!
Oh, well, in that case, I guess I am gay.

Hee hee. My friend's pre-schooler once came home declaring she wanted to be a lesbian. After we asked her a couple of questions it turned out she wanted to be a Muslim, she thought the Muslim girls in her class were really pretty and that 'lesbians' had such lovely, glossy hair!
I'm also intrigued as to how a pre-schooler acts married...
