Evil Step-Mother

"Hello, Evil Step-mother. I'm Cinderella!" Susie tells me brightly. She adjusts the beautiful apron she received for Christmas a year ago. Slow morning. I am still tired. "Hello, Cinderella! (Pause) Wait, I'm the evil step mother?...Why do I always have to be the evil step-mother?!" Susie whispers "Mother, it's just a game! It's pretend." And we try to recover our kitchen from the Valentine cookie baking yesterday.
