Conversations With Four (again)
Ms. 4: [little arms crossed, pouting] I found out today that Johnny was just trickin' when he said there were girl superheroes.
Me: Well, there ARE, honey, but anyway even if there weren't you could play one!
Ms. 4: No, the boys are in charge of the superheroes game.
Me: [sticking with the staunch feminist line] But you can play superheroes too!
Ms. 4: No, I'd rather leave that to the boys.
Me: Well, what are YOU in charge of?
Ms. 4: I'm in charge of the Cinderella game. But there aren't any boys in the Cinderella game.
Me: What? Yes there is; what about the Prince?
Ms. 4: Yeah, but none of the boys want to be the Prince.
Me: So what do you do for a Prince?
Ms. 4: We just have an imaginary Prince. That's easier.Everything she ever needs to know, she's learning in preschool.........

"We just have an imaginary Prince. That's easier."
~ So wise, so soon. ~
(I never could figure out if it was nurture or nature when mine were little-- they seemed to act so stereotypically, even at so young an age.)
sometimes imaginary princes are the best kind.............(and sometimes the only kind) ......lol
just tell her that girls rule and boys drool!!!!!! .......lol
hA!
unfortunately, when she gets a little older, there will be a few princes here and there, but by then she'll be looking for the superheroes....
Out of the mouths of babes...
Yeah, they know so much by four!
Dang, I'm 30 and I'm just now understanding that....
that is why mine didn't go to school...
So true, so true!
I agree with THYRIO--her outlook will change as she gets older!
yeah, well, evie has already decided that brian is just gonna have to become a prince (is it just that simple? i'm not sure...) because she's going to be a princess, and she's going to marry him, ergo...
at least the royal couple is damn cute. they're gonna need something to get by on, since apparently neither of them is going to have a job.
Adorable. I've added to the snippets section of an entry today.
When you are 4, imaginary princes are probably the best princes.
I love it, Mom.
oh damn, lol. Tell that young'un to come do my taxes for me next year, ok? She's got the ways of the world figgered already.
lol indeed.
Hahahaha.....Hey! Wait a minute!
um, I did, when I was four, but no one asked me.
This is the WORST part of moving to Colorado, I want to come and visit you and little Ms 4. I'll bet she could even get one of my guys (or both) to play prince.
Lydia is 'Elasti-Girl'. And the invisible one that we can't remember the name of...
LOLOL!! I love reading the things your kids say - reminds me of when my 16yo was little and said such funny and apt things. Ms4 certainly has a good head on her tiny shoulders!!
Wow, I could've had this conversation with my daughter.
