playing house

Have you ever played house with your children? Where you don't have the role of mother? It is so interesting to be the sister with a younger brother and baby sister and hear the things that come out of "mommy's" mouth. Like assigning time-outs without figuring out what really happened--I got Zach into trouble in a minute--and being told when you announce that you have to go to your other job (getting supper) that "You are very responsible. Good job."
