He called her what?

Yesterday my friend Christine hosted a wonderful Christmas party for her kids and some of their friends. Cameron was lucky enough to be invited. Christine also left it up to the parents if they wanted to stay and play or they could drop the kids off and come back later. I was the only one who stayed. Cameron can get a little overwhelmed in big crowds of rowdy kids and I thought for sure she would appreciate some help. Let me say, I get overwhelmed in big crowds of rowdy kids . . . but I did just fine. Cameron was the second youngest there and the youngest boy by about 4 years. During dinner all the kids were sitting around the table and talking. This was cute, listening from the kitchen as the kids discussed certain things. At one point they were taking a poll, by a show of hands, of how old everyone was. Christine and I were enjoying a conversation of our own in the kitchen when we heard a child crying. Christine went to investigate and the little girl sitting next to Cameron was in tears and inconsolable and Cameron looked shocked. Christine scooped the child up into a loving embrace and asked what happened. "He called me one" she cried. The little girl was crying deeply into Christine's shoulder, I had to ask what happened. Christine replied, straight faced "he called her one". My response was "one what?". "Just one" Christine explained. As if that were in fact an explanation. I repeated myself "one", yup "one" she confirmed. Confused and slightly bewildered I confirmed again "like the number?" Not well versed in young girl drama/emotions I didn't know what kind of insult being called "one" was. I made Cameron apologize for hurting the girls feelings and we excused the kids to play, so we could clean up dinner before the cookie decorating. I told Christine "I'm not really a girly girl, nor am I very sensitive. I also have a rough and tumble boy, so I don't really understand what happened" she then explained "girls of that age don't like to be referred to an age younger then they are. That little girl is 6 so to be called 'one' is a 'major' insult. They also do not like to be called 'baby'". This got me to thinking. I wonder what age it is, as a female, that you WANT to be called an age younger then you really are. At 21 your dieing to show off your ID and at 40 your like 'seriously'. For me, I really don't care. I think your as young as you feel. But let this be known when dealing with sensitive girls, "one" is just about the biggest insult there is. Again, I thank GOD for my boy!!
