My Barrett boy

One of the reasons I wrote the previous post was to give context to this story:

Barrett woke up from his nap a couple days ago and wanted to play 'pets.' We usually don't play pets after nap, but since Brian's been home on paternity leave, it's been kind of like a vacation and I didn't have dinner to make so I figured, why not?!

I sat down on the bed. "You be him," Barrett said to me, handing me the blue rhino. We began playing that the rhino had no friends. "I'll be your friend!" exclaimed the big brown bear, played by Barrett.

Rhino (mommy): You'll be my friend?
Brown bear (Barrett): Yeah!
Rhino: What is a friend? Is a friend something you eat?
Brown bear: No! A friend is someone you love.
