Following the discussion yesterday on gendered toys, I just remembered how I used to play schools. The school had its own name and leadership structure. I had a relative who used to sew toys out of felt and sell them, and so I was given quite a few of those. I managed to make a class full of toys and each of them had an exercise book to do their work in that I would mark. I even did school photos with my shitty tablet at the time. The ‘naughty’ kids would be sent under my bed for a time out sort of thing.
I have a lot of great memories watching my daughter and her dad playing school with all her toys.
One very memorable one was when the dog would walk through the classroom roughing up the students. My daughter announces “kids this is Toby. Our new special needs student. Say hello”. Me leaving the room to giggle.

Sounds like your daughter has inherited your wit!
Haha. I’ve taught her very young to except everyone as they are.
