Legend and Cash stand side by side admiring themselves in the mirror.
Legend - "We look like sisters!"
Cash, offended - "Legend! We are not Sisters! We are boys!"
Legend - "There's a sister in Mommy's belly!"
Me - "Maybe. Do you want a sister or a brother?"
Legend - "I wanna be sister. Big, strong, Legend, boy, sister."
Cash, disappointed in his friend - "Legend. You are a boy."
Just a moment later, Legend wraps a small blanket around himself and goes back to the mirror.
He flits from side to side and smiles demurely at himself.
Legend - "I'm a princess."
Cash, quite annoyed now - "You can't be a princess, Legend. You are a boy!"
Legend - "I'm a pretty princess."
Cash tattles and whines - "Auntie Kate, Legend's not a princess. He's a boy."
Legend - "You are a princess too Cash?"
Cash turns and walks down the hall to play dinosaurs by himself.
Legend, prancing on his tippy toes - "I am a princess."
Me - "And what a beautiful princess you are."
