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?

"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."

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