Dee's latest obsession

Dee goes through cycles with TV shows; she will want to watch a particular one almost exclusively for weeks, and then she's over it and onto another. Her current obsession is Avatar, The Last Airbender. Wikipedia has several pages on the cartoon, so I can at least keep up with Dee's references.
As of late, she has decided that she's a waterbender, and when she's six years old (or on the 1001st day of school -- it varies), she is going to have a pool party and show her friends that she's a waterbender. Other than periodically asking if waterbending is real or pretend, I just grin and nod a lot. For the record, so far the answer has been "pretend" followed by an exasperated look.
Last night, she went off into her "I'm a waterbender" spiel, and I pointed out that it was okay to pretend, but there would be NO pretending or "practicing" waterbending at school or inside the house, as she didn't want to get in trouble for playing in the sink or water fountain. I mentioned this, because it occurred to me that the "pour the water out of the bathtub onto the bathmat" incident last week may have been waterbending practice.
Dee grinned maniacally. "Yes, master... I mean, Yes, Mommy!" I sigh; hubby grins.
Behind me, hubby starts giggling (never a good sign) and tells Dee "You know, Dee, I'm an airbender!"
Dee's eyes open wide. "Really?"
"Yeah," he says. "Pull my finger!"
Dee shrieks and jumps up in bed while I facepalm and try to stifle, and hubby tries to get Dee to lay back down in bed.
Once we get her to lay back down, I try to use my serious Mommy voice. "Dee, Daddy is not an airbender." I glare at hubby and tell him "You need to hush, now!" while Dee just cackles.
"Dee, honey, Daddy is not an airbender. There's a big difference between bending air and breaking wind." They both laugh, and I know that this is going to be a conversation with a teacher or friend at some point, starting with "This is going to sound weird, but ..."
It's a sad state of affairs when, in a household of 5 living things, I'm the sane one.
