Reese's imagination has gone into hyperdrive over the last few months and one of my favorite pastimes is to pretend to do something else while I listen to the dialogue between her toys. Whatever the melange of playthings- Strawberry Shortcake and Spiderman on an adventure with two zebras and a bobble-head mouse, or Buzz Lightyear sipping tea with pez dispenser Woody and a bald, naked cabbage patch baby- the group is the same. They're always 'the friends'.
Well, the other day as I listened to her animated banter something struck me. I'm not sure how I missed it in all those quiet, giggling moments of eavesdropping, but I did.
No matter who she plays with, one of 'the friends' is always named 'Mommy'.
