My niece (Tasneem, 9) and her three brothers (Yusuff, 8/Idriss, 5/Shuibb, 4) slept over on the weekend. The boys slept on mattresses on the floor in the living room, Tasneem wanted to sleep on the sofa by herself.
Me: Tasneem can do whatever she wants because she’s my princess.
Tasneem: Yay!
Ayub: What’s a princess? Why Tasneem princess, Mama?
Me: Because she’s a girl.
Tasneem: What are you Ayub? Are you a princess?
Ayub: I’m a King! A King that sleep on the floor.
Tasneem: What about you Sulaiman? Are you a prince?
Sulaiman: No. I’m Elsa.
Me: Elsa is a queen…
Sulaiman: Yah. I am Elsa. Mama, you are Anna.
Me: Yay!
