Little Girl (age 7) was playing house out in the yard with the neighbor kids. She had laid out a few beach towels and set up her stuffed animals on one.
Little Boy (her twin) came up and asked if he could play.
“I’m the Mommy,” she said. “And P is the daddy. You can be one of the kids.”
Little Boy joined the game just as P (the neighbor boy) started wandering off to play with a toy riding car.
“Husband?” Little Girl called after him from her position on the beach towel with the stuffed animals. “Are you going to work? Okay. I will sit here and read.”
And she pulled out a book and opened it in her lap, bending her head studiously.
So… THAT’S how I look to my kids….
