She invented the pretending bit, I blatantly encouraged the creatively theatrical bit. I want her to learn what truth and pretend are, because I like Henson's "whopper" theory. She's doing okay I think at discerning truth, fiction and falsity.

Her mother plays too. It's possible we just like having an appreciative audience, even if the audience is three years old.

I wonder if the other kids will take to pretend hide and seek.
