Paging Dr. Freud to conversations with my daughter.

[rivka]

Alex: I'm a pretty little wife.
Michael: You are? Whose wife are you?
Alex (to me): You and me are Papa's wives.
Me: Y HELLO THAR, Electra!
Alex: Y HELLO THAR, Electra! ...Who's Electra?

Hee! :D

Tamsin's just gotten into role-reversal pretending lately. My favorite is when she tells Hippo "I'll be the Mommy and you be the Daughter." Sometimes we both get to be the daughters, but so far she's never demanded that anyone be her husband. Hmm.

"Wife" is by no means Alex's usual role. It's more often that she's looking for a wife. I have had to explain many many times that I can't marry her because I'm already married to Papa.

In my favorite incident along these lines, after I explained that I couldn't marry her she said plaintively, "But I have to get married - I have a baby growing in my tummy."

Bwa! That is... wow. What will the neighbors think? ;)

So she has the concept of the "shotgun wedding" down by heart, then? ;)
