We love musicals; we listen to them for hours in the car or around the house, and the children have several memorized from Overture to Curtain Call.  One of these is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

I put "Joseph" on in the car, and M said, "Wow, Joseph had a lot of brothers!  How did she handle it?"

I: Honey, Joseph was a boy, not a girl.

M: No, Jospeh is a girl!

I: Why do you think that?

M: She sings like a girl, and she dresses like a girl... and she has all those terrible brothers!

M's imaginative play has spun out beyond her brothers' Transformers, Trains, Bionicles and battle-play.  Recently, she has created a long-playing Castle game for herself and O, and me if I'm playing.  Tonight we rode our bikes down to a little park with a bell.  O was "King Benny," she was "Princess Elizabeth," and I was "Queen Honey."  It was all very elaborate, with King Benny riding off to work, Princess Elizabeth going to preschool, and Queen Honey staying home to do the dishes... but she assured me that Queen Honey gets to wear a very fancy cape while she does the dishes.
