PRINCESS QUITE A LOT !

PRINCESS QUITE A LOT !

so one day

i am being a typical mom

“noah . . . did you do your homework?

please make your bed !

what do you mean you did not finish your homework ?

water the plants !

pick up the poops !

do it now ! !

read right this minute !

no ! no ! no ! “

clearly

i was missing the cue

on my little boy’s face

frustration

must have been building

because

in a rather condescending tone

i hear ,

“YES  PRINCESS !”

“ princess ????

did this young man just call me Princess ? “

at first i was somewhat offended
(reasons beyond what i could write in this post)

okay. . .more than somewhat .

i reminded noah

in a not so princess like voice,

that if he had done

what he  knew he was supposed to do ,

then i would never have to bark out

requests . commands . orders .

several times since,

he has referred to me as princess . . .

that started my mind to pondering .

i am a princess

i am a daughter of god

i am a woman of noble birth

i am his mother

and so by all means

he can call me princess .

he can treat me as a princess

and i will be delighted

to be called

“Yes PRINCESS”

i was shopping for my primary

at seagull books .

in the young women section

there before my eyes

were earrings . . .

sparkly and in the shape of small crowns .

they had

“Yes PRINCESS”

written all over them

and so i did what any 
young princess would do . . .

i had to have them !

i wore them and i could feel the
princess magic

flow through my countenance.

WOWZA !

noah and i had the difficult morning routine .

as he stepped out of the car i implored,

“ no friends ! homewrk first ! “

to which he responded ,

“Yes PRINCESS”

i flipped my hair to reveal

the dangling crowns ,

“you better believe i am your

‘Yes PRINCESS’ ”

with a roll of his eyes

he was out the door .

i rolled down the window

“ i love you ! 
have a wonderful day ”

he smiled ,

“Yes PRINCESS”

now , i have to take this 
pewter pumpkin

 of a vehicle

to work

and hope that my little creature friends 

will have my palace

in tip top condition

“Yes PRINCESS”
