What is really important

We spent an hour with a group of new kids -- singing, dancing and playing around. Ultimately, Gwenchik ended up running around like crazy playing catch up with them. As we are driving home she reflects:
Gwen: I was the fastest one, right?
Me: Yes, but is it really that important?
Gwen: Honestly yes, but if anyone else asks -- it is more important to play.

Have options...

Gwenchik overheard during one of our friends get together in our house as a friend's mother described how during the discussions about "future wife" her 6 year old son stated that Gwenchik is off the list -- she is his friend girl.
Gwen: Mom, why didn't you correct her?
Me: I should have? I thought you really liked Lesha the most.
Gwen: Well yes, but it is nice to have options. When I grow up I can than choose, right? Doesn't really need to happen now?
