Forging Friendships

I asked the usual "How was school?"
The unusual responded "Lots of fun!"
Interested I pursued "How come?"

I watch her fluid movements as she dances about the room.
"I made a new friend at playtime. We played on a high beam!"

My eyebrows knit together in apprehension... a high beam, "How high... what did you play?"

She demonstrates. It's comical. "We played the most amazing games imaginable!"
That is high applause for a new friendship.

She reads my face.

"Mom, it was crazy fun, not dangerous fun" as she leaps into her homework chair with a thump.

Is there a difference, I hope so.
