Frick and Frack

Any of you who know Frick and Frack will get a kick out of this story. It was a classic Frick and Frack story- fast-forwarded 20 years!

We have our own Frick and Frack in this house! The other day Naomi and Olivia came running to me, Naomi yelling "I don't want to the king! I want to be a mom!" Olivia said, "Naomi you have to be the King!" The following conversation ensued!

O: "How about you be the Queen Naomi!" (real conivingly said of course!)
N: (With her little pocketbook stuffed with "cards" slung over her shoulder) "No! I want to be the Mom!"
Me: "Olivia, Naomi does not need to be the King or Queen. If she wants to be a mom, she can. She doesn't always have to play what you want her to."

Olivia runs away upset and sulking. Naomi and I play a few minutes together. She is the mailman and is bring me all sorts of cards. Olivia returns as Naomi is walking out of the room. Naomi sees her and dejectedly throws her pocketbook down and defeatedly says, "Ok Livia, I'll be the queen...*big sigh*"

O: (Real perky and excited) "Ok! You be the queen and I'll be the letter person!" As she picks up Naomi's off cast "letter bag" pocketbook.

Of course I didn't let her get away with it! It was so classic Frick and Frack though I had to laugh!
