love-hate

Madison is one of the names that Megan mentions frequently about school. I think, they're pretty good friends. In the morning, when I drop her off at school, most of the time Madison would give her a hug as she stands there so stiffly not knowing what to do. Then, they would take their plush toys for the day and play with them.

But, sometimes, Megan would tell me that Madison's mean to her. That she didn't want to play with her. And once, she said, Madison pinched her. Asked how is Madison mean to her, Megan answered, She said I was mean to her.

Although, Madison is not an only child (her sister's name is also Megan), she's a little bit bossy just like Megan. They both want their way and they probably fight over what they would play. I can just see it:

Meg: Hi, Madison, you want to play with me?
Mad: Okay, I want to go play in the swing...
Meg: But I want to play Swan Lake.
Mad: I don't want to play that silly game, it's so boring.
Meg: No, it's not.
Mad: Yes, it is.
Meg: NO! It's not!
Mad: You're mean, I don't want to play with you.
Meg: I don't want to play with you either!

Note: The above conversation did not actually happen but that's how Meg is when she doesn't get her way and I think Madison's the same way.
