Pretend

Aidyn is quite bossy and likes to play pretend a lot. This has me constantly transformed into someone I probably don't feel like being. "Mommy, pretend you're a mom with ten very naughty kids and I'm Nanny McPhee." "Mommy, pretend you're a patient and I'm the doctor and you're in the waiting room." "Mommy, pretend you don't know me."

Recently there was this exchange:

Aidyn: "Mommy, pretend you don't like this guy."

Me: "Oh, I don't like that guy."

Aidyn: [very seriously] "You don't? For real?"
