It isn't so serious, at least with most girls. I remember I hated this pahase--if I said I didn't like you I generally meant it and assumed the reverse. And my daughter seems to take it all too seriously as well. She lives and dies by who sat by her and who worked with her. But the other girls don't take it so seriously. We're working on my daughter's "buck up" skills. It will probably make it easier on you if M isn't upset or crying about it. Good luck. I think it is pretty typical for the preschool age.

(I remember because I made up a *very* witty insult based on rhyming with her name-NOT) We were still best friends until she moved in 6th grade.
