Here's a sampling of recent quotable quotes from the Princesses, which, given their recent penchant for fighting with each other like two little Tasmanian devils, may be the only thing saving them from being duct-taped to their closet doors by the Queen. (What, I wouldn't leave them there more than an hour. Or three. I'd undo them regularly to go tinkle.):
Princess G wakes up every morning with the same question: "Mommy, is the sun open yet?" And yes, when it goes down, "the sun's closed."
Princess E: "Mommy, we're having a special day at school tomorrow - Egg Day!" (Translation that I fortunately got from another mom before I stayed up all night making an egg costume: They're having "Decade Day" - a 50's poodle skirt works just fine. Runny yellow yolk makeup is not necessary.)
Princess G, when asking for green peas at dinner: "Peas pease!" (Don't quite have that "l" sound working yet. This is so cute, however, that I serve peas several times a week just to hear her say it.)
Princess E explaining playground politics: "All the girls meet under the slide to plan our next moves. We're all superheroes, Mom - I'm SuperFast Girl, Audrey's Strong Girl, Leah's Flying Girl and Abigail's Gymnastics Girl."
Mom: "Where are the boys?"
E (scornfully harrumphing): "Oh, all they have are spider webs. We beat them all the time 'cause we have superpowers. They're scared of us."
Princess G, when told she needs to get ready for bed, but she doesn't want to lay down alone: "You seepy, Mommy? Go get you jammies on, Mommy - you seepy, too."
Like I could duct-tape someone so cute...is Scotch tape allowed?
