First heartbreak

Daan has learned many new things this week. Today he learned something he really did not like. It was this: while Douwe's friends may like him, they don't always want him to come over to their houses to play, too.

This was hard to learn.

And the mother of Douwe's little friend learned something, too. If you leave Douwe and his little friend on the playground alone because you have a meeting inside the school and you figure it'll only be a minute anyway, you have to tell Douwe very explicitly that if he needs anything he is to come and get you first.

If you do not, and he doesn't know where you are, he may decide that he had better walk home.

Luckily the little friend went and got his mother instead of accompanying him, so he didn't get far.

All in all a most educational day.
