Princess? Very
So National Princess Week, celebrated the week of April 22, is a subject I know something about.
After all, I raised three of them.
I first heard of National Princess Week while Julie Andrews was pushing with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton, their latest literary effort, “The Very Fairy Princess” on TV. I haven’t read this book, but I instinctly know I could have written it. (If you’re looking for a princess book for your daughter, I do suggest “The Paper Bag Princess” by Robert Munsch.)
As for princesses, I am a subject matter exerpt. Our home was a palace for three girls with a love of all things girly. This list of princess-like preferences has included pink, hair bows, dancing, nail polish, pearls, flowers, Barbies galore, show tunes, chick flicks, tea parties and fancy dresses. Along with this has come a certain sense of entitlement, which is sometimes not attractive.
Of course, we would curl hair every day. Of course, there was never a hair bow too big. Of course, someone would award them flowers at the end of a dance recital. Of course, we’ll run to Target at the 11th hour to buy glitter so the school project would dazzle the teacher and assorted classmates. Of course, our birthday parties were over-the-top with themes ranging from Somewhere Over the Rainbow to, ahem, princesses. Of course, we would shop for the perfect prom dress AND pay for alterations equal to the price. Of course, dorm room bedding would perfectly match our roommate’s and be the cutest in the hall.
Of course.
I guess I must have had something to do with the invisible tiaras my three blonde princesses carry on their royal heads. Hang on to your tiara; this will come as a bit of a shock.
After all, I am a queen.
