The Daddy and Ch were playing.. I came out and Daddy pretended to animate a soft toy bear, asking "who woke the giant (bear) up? fee fi fo fum!"
Ch looks around and says "Mama!"
I went in to brush my teeth and Ch came running in, telling Daddy "Mama is here!"
What follows saddened me..
"Mama, the green bear is not angry at you anymore! Mama, the green bear will be happy if you play with him."
I realised he was projecting his own desires and emotions onto the soft toy.
"Mama..come, and play! You must play with the bear..see..! Because it's so small.. you must take.. er.. you must go to work and Ida will take care of it."
Mama smiles sadly.
