Kids

I was in Tompkins Square Park yesterday, and there was some little girls, maybe about 5 years old, who clearly didn't know each other up until that moment but were playing on the playground equipment as though they were best friends. I am sitting nearby, so the one girl, assuming that I am some sort of guardian figure decides to strike up conversation with me as her subject. I sat quietly:

Girl 1: Is that your dad?
Girl 2: No.

Girl 1: Is that your uncle?
Girl 2: No.

Girl 1: Your friend?
Girl 2: No.

Girl 1: A person?
Girl 2: No.

Not a person? Thanks a lot little girl.
