Making a "Play Date"
One of my young students today couldn't wait to tell me about her best friend coming over to spend the night this weekend. You see, her friend had only come over for play dates before, so this was a big step in their friendship.
I said, "Play what?"
She said, "Play date. You know, when your friend comes over to play, but not to spend the night."
I can't imagine the kids made up that term on their own. I think this is a "mommy" word. But maybe that's what mommies are doing for their kids now, making "play dates" for them with their friends.
Is this an old term that I'm just now hearing, or do y'all think this is a new thing?

That makes sense. Perhaps in a truly narcissistic manner the kids have assimilated the word into their own vernacular.
