Friend Criteria

"Do you have friends at school?"
The six year old nods her head vigorously up and down.
"Do you have a best friend?"
More vigorous nodding.
"What's her name?"
"Mayte." (pronounced my-tay)
"What makes her a good friend?"
"She has this tooth that fell out and now the new one looks funny. I like it."
"I see. What else makes her a good friend?"
"She's interesting to look at."
