The other day, Hannah was playing in the living room and decided she wanted to pretend that we were playing at Smash's house with the cat. My daughter favors weird games.
Hannah: "Ok Mama, you be you, and I'll be the cat."
Me: "Ok, hello kitty cat, how are you?"
Hannah: "No, no, you call me from upstairs, you tell me to come down."
Me: "Oh, ok, sorry. Umm, kitty cat? Come downstairs and play!"
Hannah: "No, no, you're doing it wrong. You be the cat, and I'll be the Mommy, and I'll show you."
Me: "Oh...ok. Umm, meow meow meow"
Hannah: "KITTY! YOU. GET. DOWN. HERE. RIGHT. NOW!"
:/
