My girls fight all the time never agreeing on the same thing while playing with each other, but there are few games that they play together...one is the house game...they build a house with all the available Pillows in the house making them as walls so that each one gets a room.
Another thing that fascinates them is dressing up. All my Duppattas have been used by them as i have a big collection of them. When i give away my old salwars, i don't give the Duppattas and so i have a large stock of it. My girls have fun using them as sarees or dressing up in any other fashion. 'G'(yunger one) always want to dress up just like 'L' and so i have to make sure that they both get the same colour dupatta most of the time. Sometimes I don't check on what they play as i think that they should have their own space and solve their own arguments. While playing ,there r umpteen number of times when 'L' bosses up 'G'.
The other day, after my elder girl(L) came from school, she saw a duppatta lying on the sofa.
Immediatly she told told 'G' to kneel down and pray as how they do in the church. L went into the bedroom with the Duppatta. I was continuing with my work as I really didn't understand , what my girls were playing. I even asked 'L' why she was giving punishment to 'G'. 'G' kneels down on the carpet happily and starts singing aloud in some unknown language as she ususally does when she pretends, as if she's singing in church. Around 3-4 minutes later(probably fedup of singing alone), 'G' calls out " WHere is the bride aunty"? L comes running out from the bedroom in her halfdress and Duppatta on her head as the veil of the bride....It was only then that I understood that they were enacting a marriage ceremony in church. I was amused watching my girls play the rest of the scenes.
