The "mean" girls

When Mendel, Caitlin or Louise talk about the "mean" girls, we all know who they are referring to: two girls (sisters) in Caitlin's class that used to bully them the first few months of school.

Now, the past few weeks, these girls are no longer mean to them and they have become friends (most of the time), but we can't get rid of their original name.

Every time we see one of the girls at school Mendel will point and say (quite loudly): Look mommy, the "mean" girl. But she is nice now, she is my friend.

This weekend when at a school event, she ran to me and showed me a piece of candy she got from the "mean" girl.

I'm trying to work on her, calling the girl by her name, but she keeps forgetting that girl's name.

It's funny as hell, I think, but I'm mortified that one day the mom will hear this (if she even understands of course)...
