Said the mother said.


I hate writing dialogue. Probably because I'm no good at it.

Said the mother said.

I caught my daughter pretending to read to herself the other day. She is 3, she can't really read. It was Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans. Great choice. Anyhow I hear her making up the dialogue and then say, "Said the mother said". I guess she couldn't decide if it was "said the mother" or "the mother said" so she mashed them together.

Can I do that?
