Who is the Maid in the house?

We have been reading the "Little Princess" story book with my son ( 31 months old now) since we bought it from the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale early this year. We didn't expect him to love it so much. Initially, he didn't like reading it so much and don't want to finish the whole book. It started with flipping a few pages. After a few weeks, he begun to finish and now he is asking to read it over and over again. 

"The Little Princess" in the story potrays a life of a young girl around the age of 5-6 years old. The little princess live in the castle. They are many characters from the Little Princess, the Queen, the King, the maid, the General, the Admiral, the Prime Minister, the Gardener, Puss the cat, Scruff the dog and her lovey, Gilbert. 
i somehow found the story are meaningful as it tells the story of what is happening to a child at this age which is what my son is going thru. My son love it because he is going the same experience as the little princess. For example; the story tells about " i don't want to switch off the lights", " i want my mun", " i want a party" and much much more. this have some similarity to what my son's been asking and this soothes him very much after listening to the story.

We read it almost everyday before putting him to sleep. There was one night when we were reading the story and i started to improvise a little and this is what happen: 

Daddy asked the son,"who is the Little Prince in our house?"
"I'm the Little Prince." said my son.
"who is the Queen in the house?" asked the daddy again.
"Mummy!!" answered by my son.
"who is the King in the house?' asked the daddy.
"Daddy!!"
Then the tricky question came ......
"who is the MAID in our house?" 
"MUMMY!!!!!" he answered

I was like WHAT in my mind. Being a stay at home mommy with burden of household chores and taking care a toddler, I suddenly become a MAID for him. Oh, dear boy. 

 we all burst into laughter after hearing what he said. Dear boy, mummy love you so much even though I'm become maid sometime. 

After few weeks, daddy asked him again the same question,
"Who is the MAID in the house?"
"nobody." 

OHHHHH, "nobody" these was the answer from my son. Thanks dear, love you so much. He did know that mummy not only the MAID in the house but also the person who love him so much.
