A Tale of Two (Very Different) Sisters

I scored some great deals last year after Halloween as I hit up every Target in the area for 90% off costumes.  Needless to say, the kids have a lot of dress up costumes ranging from Princess to Super Hero.  Well that is exactly what my kids like to be---one a super hero and the other a princess.  Here is how the night of imaginative play went.

Overheard from the next room while I was folding clothes:

CHLOE:  (dressed in a Cinderella dress and glass slippers)  Hey Ashlyn let's play Cinderella. I'm going to walk up the stairs and drop my shoe.  You know the Fairy Godmother has already come and it's almost midnight.  You be the prince and pick it up and see which girl it fits, okay????

ASHLYN:  No I don't want to be a prince.  I'm Superman.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ASHLYN:  Mommy can you go downstairs.  I have more room to practice my flying there.

ME: What???

ASHLYN:  I have on my Superman costume.  I can fly if I get a running start.  Let's go.

ME:  OKay........

While downstairs, I took this video after several attempts at flying.  After each one, she would yell, "Why can't I fly??"  Of course, when I started the video she did not say that.  Anyways, you will also notice that she is not wearing a Superman costume but she thinks it is.
