(Your both 6 years old) You walk in with your mom holding her hand nervously, through the front door to your mom’s new friend’s house. You walk through the front door and into the living room where you see another woman (your moms friend) stand across from your mom talking with her about things you don’t understand like “tax’s”, whatever those are. As you look around, you notice a boy your age sitting on the rug on the floor playing with two red toy cars. You tug on the bottom of your mom’s shirt to get her attention before pointing to the boy who has now noticed you as well, suddenly the other woman (your mom’s friend) begins to talk.

Woman: “That’s Noah, he’s my son, you should go talk to him”

You nod slowly before letting go of your moms hand and walking over to him nervously then sitting down next to him on the rug on the floor, you both stare at each other with awkward silence apart from the sound of yours and his mom talking in the back room about things your mom likes to call “Big boy stuff”. After a minute or two Noah suddenly begins to talk while handing one of the two toy cars he was playing with.

Noah: “.. Hi.. what your name” he says in a blunt kids voice, (cause he is one) with a slight smile
