Six-year-old: You know my friend, Lucy? Well, before she was a girl she was a boy.
Mom: What? That’s not possible. You can’t change from being a girl to being a boy.
Six-year-old: But Lucy did.
Mom: No, she didn’t. Why are you saying this?
Six-year-old: She did! She was a boy and now she’s a girl! She told me!
Mom: She’s lying. It doesn’t happen that way.
Six-year-old: But she did! You don’t know anything! She was a boy and now she’s a girl!
