More Cinderella

Charlotte likes to play complicated pretend games and she wants you to play with her, but she tells you line by line what you are supposed to do and say. And she stops and corrects you if you get it wrong. She wanted to act out the scene from Cinderella when the Prince first sees her at the ball and then they dance and then she runs away and leaves her slipper behind. She danced with Derek a bit but Grace called him away. She then said I could play with her, but I had to pretend to be a boy. OK, got it. She wanted me to run after her when it came to the part about the clock striking midnight and Cinderella running away. She realized as she explained it that I am not very into running these days (I always veto the parts in the game where I have to run, although she did convince me to do jumping jacks the other day which I sorely regreted immeadiately afterwards.) She stopped sort of mid-sentence and said "and then we're going to run - er, um - walk fast over there to my carraige and then you're going to...".
