Ellie squinted at me sideways and then said, "Okay."
"Another what?" I asked.
"You're in the game!" announced Rosalie.
"What am I in the game?"
"You're in the game with us," she said, patient with my apparent slowness.
I asked, "Am I your mom?"
"Yes, " she said, "Our new mom."
"What happened to your old mom?"
"We killed her." Ellie stated, "Cuz she kept us in a high tower."
I wasn't sure I wanted to be the new mom. I knew I didn't after I related this conversation to Casey and he told me he'd overheard them saying that not only had they killed the old mom, they'd eaten her.

Oh, dear. Maybe I should take the Let's Pretend cd out of the van for a little while.
Yikes! What do they do with old grandmothers?
ha ha! i have the let's pretends in the van too. which reminds me, can i get a new copy of the bluebeard one some time? my girls heard it once and then it broke and they really liked it. how disturbing is that? :) love the conversation between the girlies. so morbidly delightful!
yeah. definitely disturbing. but congrats on getting chosen as the new mom. you have an uncanny resemblance to the old mom.
I would tell them that you're going to play a new game called "Psychiatric Intervention" which involves going to an office in town and talking to a nice grown-up about parent issues.
Dads get off pretty easy. To my knowledge, Ellie has not yet killed me. I think its because, in the world of the fairy tail, while step-mothers are evil, fathers are just regular old nincompoops.
