THE GIRL GENIUS: "Let's have pretend names. What are your pretend names?"
ME: "Er... Mary Jane."
DAUGHTER (TGG'S AUNTIE): "Josephine ..." (desperately looks around for inspiration, sees old Christmas card), "Josephine Penguin"
MR C: "Bernard the Squirrel"
ME: "And what's your pretend name?"
THE GIRL GENIUS (adopts thinking pose): "... Bottom"
Have you been reading Midsummer Night's Dream to her?
