Do Five-Year-Olds Cry?

Today the kids were off of school, so we held another Lego and Keva Open Play at the library.  At one point during the program I overheard the following conversation between two young boys who, given the conversation, I estimate to be ages five and six.


"What would you do if somebody knocked that tower over?"

"I would be really mad and I would cry."

"You wouldn't cry!  Five-year-olds don't cry."

"Six-year-olds do."

"No they don't."

"They do when they bleed."

"I don't cry when I bleed."


At this point mom looks over at the boy who last spoke quite pointedly.  Neither boy noticed or cared.
