Secret about boys

I went to get my hair done today--it's been a long time and it was looking pretty bad. When I came home I had this conversation with Eli.

Me, "Eli, does my hair look different?"

Eli, "Yeah, it looks pretty."

Me (imparting wisdom), "Eli, let me tell you a little secret about girls. If you ever notice their hair is different and it looks nice, you should tell them that it looks pretty. It will make them happy."

Eli nods. "Your hair looks pretty mom."

Me, "Thanks."

Eli ponders.

Eli, "Mom, let me tell you a little secret about boys. They really like to get lollipops when they get their hair cut."

The sad thing is, I think he's right.
