Seriously, I can’t believe I now play pretend eat. It's one thing to mix up stuff in my own kitchen, but who pretends to eat when you can do the real thing? Tonight after playing “remove food from the pantry” (a game which by the way is followed by “watch Mama put all of the food back”) I hung on to a cup of fruit and decided that one of my plastic letter magnets would make a good eating utensil—while in the pretending mood, I pretended to be tall enough to sit at the kitchen table and feed myself since I am now big enough to hoist myself into any of the chairs in the house.
