Exactly.

On the way home from jump-rope club yesterday, Melissa complained that several of her friends instead of jumping-rope and practicing, just sat around and flirted with this one boy. I asked her what she thought the purpose of flirting and dating was.

"To be popular?"

"No. The purpose of flirting and dating is to pick out a husband."

"Aren't we a little young for that?!?!!"

"Exactly."
