Today Hannah and Naomi were pretending to be two of the children of the All-of-a-Kind Family, which is a series of books about a Jewish family on the Lower East Side of New York in the early 1900s. Hannah was Charlotte and Naomi was Gertie. Naomi has recently gotten more insistent about being called the name of the character she's pretending to be, so there were some cute interactions:
H: Naomi, Mama said not to stomp because we'll wake up Simeon.
N: I'm Gertie.
H: Oh. Gertie, Mama said not to stomp because we'll wake up Simeon.
N: Oh.
They then went to the Easter bunny's house. While there, Naomi mysteriously morphed from Gertie to another Easter bunny.
H: Gertie, let's ---
N: I'm not Gertie, I'm an Easter bunny.
H: Oh. What happened to Gertie?
N: I became an Easter bunny.
H: Oh. I'm Charlotte.
N: Oh, hello, Charlotte!
H: I'm Jewish.
N: Me, too.
H: You can't be Jewish, you celebrate Easter.
N: Oh.
We're awaiting the next plot twist with eager anticipation!
