| Not just another pretty face! |
Our family was together today.
Because we do everything in a group.
Or in our case, a herd.
Grampa and a couple of mothers/aunties had gathered several
of the younger kids together in the gym.
In a circle to play some games.
Most of which included loud noises.
Clawing, scratching and biting gestures.
And animal sounds.
They were . . . involved.
One of the two-year-old girls came out of the gym.
Stomping.
And with both hands raised in her best clawing-the-neighbours-or-anyone-else-who-might-get-in-the-way
position.
Auntie stopped her.
“Are you a bear?” she asked.
The little girl looked at her indignantly and sniffed. “I’m
a princess!” she stated. “See my pretty dress?!”
Auntie and I looked at each other. “Not the sort of princess
I was raised with, but . . . okay,” she said.
It’s a new world.
Princesses now have claws, stomp around and growl a lot.
But still wear pretty dresses.
Just FYI.
