Five Husbands - Mental State

The girl who thinks I have five husbands looked at me, like she had a really serious question to ask me.

Girl: Um... Do you think I'm crazy?
Me: No.  You are very imaginative, though...
Girl: But do you think I'll end up in a mental... you know...?
Me: Mental asylum?  I doubt it.  But anyone can.  I think I would be more likely to end up in a mental asylum than you are.
Girl: Why?
Me: You know... the whole two lives thing... five husbands...?
Girl: But we both know that you do have five husbands.  And anyway, you have no feelings!
Me: Ouch!

I don't think she meant that in a mean way - it certainly didn't come across that way when she said it.  I would take it as a compliment, actually, in that I don't have very changeable moods as a teacher, but keep it a bit more professional.  Despite hearing all about my love life from an 11-yr-old.
