After taking Abbie to the bathroom before Thanksgiving dinner, I told her, “hang on a second, cause Tia needs to go potty, too.”

As I was going to the bathroom, Abbie started entertaining herself by pretending that I was a little person that she was taking care of me — playing like she was babysitting me instead of the other way around.

“Here, Tia, you can have a snack and I’ll turn on the TV so you can sit right there and be quiet,”  she began her monologue.  She asked,”What would you like for a snack?  Would you like candy, candy or beans?”  I said that I supposed I wanted beans.  “Good.  We’ll get you some beans, then.  And after that, you can sit and watch your shows and be quiet for a little while.”

When I was telling Sarah1 about our game of pretend, she just laughed and said, “I think that’s an exact quote.”
