Small Gemma Intermittently and firmly believed she was Wonder Woman and a pony (complete w sound effects and one unfortunate attempt to eat grass). Can confirm I'm a human woman.
Charlize Theron says her son is now a daughter because, “she looked at me when she was 3 yrs old and said, ‘I am not a boy!'”. I used to nanny for a toddler who insisted she was mermaid. I (the adult) made her get out of the tub anyway. She is now a happy, human 12 yr old.
