Quips from Kids

Our kids often role play. They pretend to be a favorite character or even a sibling, or parent. I can't tell you how often I  have answered the call of, "Mooom, Mooom!", only to be told, "Oh. Not you Mom, the Mom in the 'game'." Okay then. My 2 year old is no stranger to this game of role play either. Recently, she's been observed doing a number of voices from her general pretending her brother is her "Daddy" and sister is her "Mommy" or being the voice of her My Little Pony toy, to her brother's dinosaurs, which is quite scary I might add. The thing that makes me laugh is that in her mind, she has separated these roles, so when she in her 2 year old voice begins yelling, "Where's my Big Daddy?", I just crack up! So now, when I hear the phrase "Who's your Daddy?", there is new meaning and new laughs to be had.
