Bitter

12 June, 2006
Posted in: Princess

This morning, the Princess came running down the corridor to me in floods of tears.

Me: What’s wrong sweetheart?

Her (gasping between sobs): Daddy is torturing me, the big meanie.

Me: What did he do?

Her: The mean old Daddy treated me like Cinderella.

Me: How?

Her: He wouldn’t help me make my jigsaw.

Me: Why not?

Her (she is without guile): Because  he wanted me to eat my breakfast.

Later, while helping her to make the offending jigsaw:

Me: Is there a piece still in the box?

Her (peering inside): We’ll see whether the mean old torturing Daddy left a piece in the box.

    Well done that mean old torturer. Mothers are always a push over…. it takes a real man to face-down a non-cereal-eater and remain resolute. (Welcome back.)

    she is often drawing parallels between herself and Cinderella.

    I hope Child Protection Services do not find out about this!
