To think dd is just messing and not having an identity crisis?

Dd1, 5 yo, is currently having a phase of telling other kids she is a boy.

She says it in that kind of 'seeing how much I can ake people beleive' way, and only to other kids.

'I am a bo, boys can have long hair, and my dress is just a disguise, and so is my face and my voice. I put the disguise on when the seed and egg mixed together o make me, and I will take it off when I am dead'

Then her friends keep asking me if it is true, and I say no, she is just messing about.

Dh says that I should agree with her, as she is allowed to self identitify... Which she is, but this isnt her self identitifying, this is just her tricking other kids, right?

just a creative imagination.

DD (3 years) currently has got two babies in her big fat tummy (flatter han a pancake!) and will be popping any minute now.

She is also a baby and can't talk or walk yet, she took this one to the far end of a fart one day when she also couldn't control her bladder either which was less funny and earned a telling off.

she has also been a boy and this worryingly required the shimmying of her her hips to wave an imaginary tail around really need to check where she learned that

Mine are 2 and 3 years old. So after the sleepless baby years and joys of potty training this is what I have to look forward to now then?!

She knows a lot for her age, feminism and all that. She sounds cute :)

I wouldn't worry.
When I was 3 I was a man called Ste.
When I was 3 and a half I was a girl called 'X'.
When I was 4 I was a dog and would stay under the kitchen table. Only person I'd list to was my stepdad.

Ah this has made me giggle!

I met Fireman Sam in the supermarket last month. (Little boy about 4 wearing a fireman hat and insisting his DMum call him 'Sam'). I thought it was hilarious, Mum was a but Hmm about it. I always wondered if she was a MNetter! :)

My 2.5 yo had an intense phase of penis envy. I had to keep removing crayons from her nappy Hmm
