Who Me? Yes you !! Could'nt Be

These were the days when Tiny was a little over a year or so. She used to be watched by her grandparents, paternal and maternal making trips one after the other. She had a great time through out the day but used to wait for us to get back home. One should watch the excitement on her face when she sees either of us coming back from work. The moment i opened the door and entered in, she would drag my laptop bag and take it to the living room making an announcement "Amma vandha" (mom is here). Coming home was a ritual to see her happy smiling face.
Couple of days back, i heard Tiny telling her Appa(dad) not to pretend. I thought she must have just picked it up somewhere and she would hardly know the meaning of it. When we drop or pick Tiny from school, she addresses us as Mommy/daddy in the midst of all her friends. I was a little surprised. Once i just chided her while making her wear her jacket, as to what was the reason behind calling amma at home and mommy in school. She murmurs in my ears "I am just pretending amma". As it is i do not mind to be called amma or mommy by her but was curious to know her reasoning behind it.
So finally who was the pretending queen here, i wondered to myself. I remember playing the game Who me? Yes you ... in our short break/intervals at school, and now am into practically playing this with my daughter....
