Ava if she wanted to play with her. Ava was delighted and said, "Yes...my name is Ava." She was expecting the little girl to state her name, and was confused when she didn't. "My name is Ava." She said again, thinking maybe the girl didn't hear her. Nothing. I stepped in and asked the girl what her name was. She looked at me and said, "She keeps telling me her name!" Then, without answering me, touched Ava's shoulder and yelled, "TAG!" and ran off. Ava has never played tag, so I told her to chase the girl. Ava ran for a while, then gave up and started back to me. The girl was upset that Ava wasn't following thru on tag. She approached us again, shoved Ava's shoulder again, yelled "TAG", and ran off. Ava smiled and ran after her. I kept an eye on the girls, noticing that the nameless girl had to keep tagging Ava. They played for about 10 minutes, until Ava came and sat next to me, exhausted...but still smiling. "Mommy, there is a mean girl named 'Tag' here!
I laughed so hard!
