My brother's step daughter (my step niece? i don't know) is in love with Brett. She took him by the hand and said to him, "You're handsome." Then later she told him, "You're my husband." He told her that he was actually my husband but she wasn't so interested in that part of the conversation. Then yesterday I went over there without him. She said, "What are YOU doing here?" I told her I came by to bring something over for the cat. She said to me, "Brett is sick." It was her way of asking where the hell the part of this couple she really cared about was. I said, 'He's not sick, he just couldn't come right now." She said, "Brett only came over this many times." And held up one finger. (Not the middle finger.) I told her I guess it felt that way, but really he comes over almost every time I do. She wasn't so interested in that. Or me, for that matter. But that's fine! I just came over for the cat anyway. So there, five year old! I can't imagine why she likes him more than me.
