More Spending Time with The Princess
I'm sure you all remember this post where I shared some of the many conversations that The Princess has taken part in. The Princess is my oldest grandchild and a precocious little darling. As I had to point out to my daughter today, The Princess will soon be six years old.
The Princess has never known life without a DVR. She
was watching her mother cook dinner and had to walk away for a minute. "Mom!" she said, "Can
you pause for me? So I don't miss anything."
Another time there was this conversation:
"Mom what is salt made from?"
"Salt
isn't made from anything...it's just salt. It comes from the ocean and the
ground."
"That...is gross."
And this: "Mom I'm a magician. I can turn this frog into
a princess. (makes 'magic' noise)....ta da! An invisible princess!"
The Princess is learning new, bigger words, and the results are often quite entertaining:
"Mom, I saw a volcano, and
it was interrupting."
"Daddy's car smells like cherries cuz of the
air confessioner."
"Look, I can shake really fast like I'm
enviborating."
The lyrics to the "Mattress Discounters" radio jingle: "Have a good night's sleep for
less...mattress disgoddess!"
The Princess is very concerned with the future which prompted this discussion:
"Mom are the Beatles real?"
"Yes."
"Oh no! I don't want to be one of the Beatles when I grow
up!"
"Um...don't worry. You won't be."
"Good cuz I wanna be
a doctor."
"Ok."
"So I can help people with diarrhea." Once again, I don't think we'll top that one today. But there will be more another day; you can be sure!
