Got tights?

Jennifer came over again yesterday, but she forgot the tights for me!  She wasn't wearing tights either.  I was sad about this.  I wanted to talk to her about tights some more, but her mother started looking at me when she heard me say "tights", so I didn't say anything more.

I am not happy with Jennifer.  But maybe it's her mom, not letting her take tights from the house.  Maybe Nina had some she'd forgotten, in a drawer or box somewhere else?  I went into her room and asked her about her tights.  [I was pretty bold at this point, because my mother had ridiculed me only once before.  I didn't consider that my sister might tell her about my "unusual" request.  Thankfully, she didn't].  I told her that I'd like to try on some and for her to show me which ones were the newest.  She showed me some white ones, but they looked small.  "They're my party tights."  I guess she wore these with a dress when she went to parties.  I was in my underwear, and so I took the tights and tried to put them on.  But the feet were too small.  I asked her to show me others.  "Don't stretch them out, OK?"  I rummaged around and found the maroon ones again.  I was on another growth spurt and these were fitting smaller on me now, so I wanted another pair.  Before I could even think of putting them on, mommy called up to us.  She wanted to take us shopping.  So we left.

A Tights Request

I am so happy that Jennifer and her sister Julia came over for a visit.  Julia plays with Nina (my sister) and Jennifer plays with me.  Sometimes we all play together, but mostly Jennifer and I do our own thing.  It's weird.  She's a girl and she's my friend.  All of my other friends are boys.  She is almost like a sister to me, but I like her much more than Nina.  Nina can be so annoying sometimes.  She's not very smart either but she sure knows how to bug me.

Jennifer and I were in the playroom and doing some games together when I heard noises outside.  A couple of my friends were there!  They had bugged me earlier to play but I told them I couldn't, there was company coming over.  So they crept up all the steps to our house and went in the back to scout me out, those buggers!  I want to be alone with Jennifer, so I wish they wouldn't bother me!  So, we left the room and went into the den where the TV is.

Jennifer had on a pair of red colored tights, and to me they looked so great.  I asked her some questions about the tights.  I can't remember everything I asked.  I will try to remember [I really can't remember much, so I'll have to improvise and fill in gaps].

"Do you like wearing your tights?"  "Yeah, I guess so."  "Do they feel nice?"  "Yeah."  "I like how they look on you.  Do you think I could try them on?"  "I don't know.  I don't have anything else to wear."  "Oh yeah.  Do you have a lot of tights at home?"  "I have a bunch, I think."  "What colors?"  "I don't know, some orange, blue, purple, green, yellow, and these red ones."  "Do you think you could bring me a pair when you come next time?"  "OK, I guess so."  "Any color is OK, just pick the longest ones."  "Alright."  "Can you try to remember?"  "Yeah, I'll try.  Let's go play some games."  "OK!"

[Pretty funny, how this six year old thought to ask his play friend to bring him some tights, because his mom wouldn't buy him any!]

I was a little unsure about Jennifer being able to remember.  The last time I asked her she forgot.  Anyway, after the day was over and she was going home, I whispered in her ear "And don't forget the tights, OK?"  Maybe she will remember next time.
