Dropped 3-yr-old dd at pre-school this morning. On of the other dads was dropping off his daughter with a large bag from THE most amazing, exclusive, posh, delicious bakery in town. Someone said something about cakes because it was someone's last day.
I asked the teaching assistant who was leaving and she told me it was L, a little girl in my dd's class. "Oh, L!" I say, "Dd talks about L". The teaching assistant looked a bit doubtful and said "well they sometimes play together", I said "Dd mostly talks about L, P and F"
"Ahh yes" smiles the TA, they are the "Main Girls"" and she chuckles. She did those quotations in the air with her fingers when she said "Main Girls".
What does "The Main Girls" mean?
I admit I am asking because I worry about dd's ability to make friends, and I just got the impression that these are the popular, blonde girls who always wear pretty dresses and whose father shops in expensive bakeries and I don't know if you get 'popular' girls as young as three.
I had a horrible time at school and never made friends and was bullied badly. I have nightmares about the same thing happening to dd. Dd is not a bright, sunny, confident child who charms everyone she meets. If I am being ott, that is why.
I can't bear to think of dd trying to be friends with these girls and them not wanting her to play with them.
