One of D's favourite toys is a collection of four wooden magnetic dolls and their wooden magnetic wardrobe. She's been playing with these for maybe two years already. In her latest scenario, Beth is Sam's mother and sends her to various kinds of lessons (soccer, swimming or "kitchen" lessons). Conflict arises at the lesson when the nasty Kristen torments Sam by stepping on his feet and calling him poopy-pants. The teacher must intervene. Eventually Beth comes to collect Sam and they go home, put on their pajamas and go to sleep.
This evening as we played with these characters Sam asked if he could sleep in Beth's bed. Beth agreed and then they had the following conversation:
Me/Sam: Where's papa?
D/Beth: He lives in another building.
Me/Sam: Why does he live in another building?
D/Beth: Because...umm... he doesn't like my bathrobe.
She's obviously been eavesdropping on a recurring bathrobe-related argument between her father and I. (Kidding.)
