My girlfriend liked to play house sometimes, so she would make little jelly babies with our likenesses to pretend we had a family. It was strange, but still kind of fun.
These little mounds of jelly that looked kind of like me were able to speak and call me "Dad". My girlfriend made them out of her own body and had them grow into their own beings. In truth they were all my girlfriend, but pretending to be our kids.
We would do stuff as a family like play board games and have dinner together. To this day I didn't know how she was able to make multiple personalities active at the same time. I couldn't even do a puppet show without getting mixed up.
When we finished playing, she would gather her jelly babies back into her and tell me how much she was looking forward to having kids for real someday. I was still very nervous about the idea, but she was easing me into it I suppose.
