Boyfriend dilemma

Lately Gwenchik has been very popular in her school and quite a few boys are inviting her over for "playdates".  On the way back from one of these...
Gwen: I had such a weird playdate today.
Me: In what way?
Gwen: Can you believe it, L. asked me to be his girlfriend. I wasn't sure what to say, so I sort of ignored him.
Me: Did that work?
Gwen: No, not only that, he started to hug me. So finally I told him that I am only 9 years old and I am too young for this!!!! And I like someone else more anyways to tell you the truth.
Me: Good for you. 

Is there Santa?

Gwen: I know there is no Santa. Everyone knows that all the presents come from parents!
Me: Who is everyone?
Gwen: Everyone at school.
Me: Ok, if you are so sure, than do not write a letter to Santa and you can continue to loudly proclaim that "he doesn't exist" -- it really wouldn't matter if he truly doesn't exist. On the other hand if he does exists, he might get upset and skip our house entirely.
....
Gwen: Well, I'll write him a letter, just do not tell anyone.

Prince dilemma

Gwenchik (a Russian variation on an old Welsh name Gwyneth) is an adorable, very opinionated, and lately obsessed with anything having to do with princesses, 3.3 year old daughter. About a month ago, while picking Gwenchik up from her childcare, to my question: "How was your day?" 
Gwen: Mom, I have a dilemma.
Me: Dilemma? What does that mean?
Gwen: I don't know, but I need a prince. Lesha (the love of her life for the moment) wants to be a Lion and not my prince.
Me: What about Shane (another boy at childcare)?
Gwen: Oh, no. He can't be a prince, because he still wears a diaper. Princes do not wear one. Ira asked him, and I tried, but he doesn't want to take it off.
Me: What about Osya?
Gwen: Mom, he is SHORT! There are no short princes. So now I am without a prince.
