This is our neighbor, Kaitlyn. She and Jonathan are buddies. She likes to call him Johnny and he calls her Little Kaitlyn (so that she isn't confused with a teenage neighbor). Neither one seems to mind that the other has given them an odd nickname.Most of the time, they enjoy each other's company. However, there are times that they fuss a little bit. He doesn't like it when she blows too many bubbles with his special green bubble wand and she doesn't like it when he steps on bugs or burps. Jonathan is in 3rd grade and Kaitlyn is in 1st. Not the ideal match-up, but they make it work.
My brother, Jeff, had the same kind of relationship with our neighbor, Emily. They hung out together constantly and never seemed to realize that they had an unlikely friendship. I think they also fussed a little over silly things. Their friendship endured for many years. Thanks to Facebook, they have recently found each other again.
