How We Spent Our Sunday Afternoon
It's Spring Break (capital letters) and we are spending the week at my parent's vacation house.. Yesterday we performed "The Princess and the Pea" (over and over again.) My ten year old designed the costumes (made the crowns), I directed, and my brother Cory (an orthepedic surgeon) played the prince. Since our audience was so limited, I will try to re-create it for you now. 
Princess 1: "I am a true princess. I am wet and need a place to stay."
Princess 2: "I am Cinderella. I am wet and need a place to stay."
Queen: "Okay you can stay here. Climb up this ladder and sleep on these mattresses. I will hide this green jelly bean under here. We'll see if you're a true princess!"
Princess: "Oh I just can't sleep! This is horrible! Are there rocks under here?"
Prince: "Oh Mother, when will I ever marry a true princess?"
Queen: "Soon son, very soon. That might be her knocking at the door right now."
Princess 1: "I am a true princess. I am wet and need a place to stay."

Prince: "True Princess, will you marry me?"
Princess 1: "Yes I will!" Kiss kiss.
Prince: "True Princess, will you marry me?"
Princess 2: (Long long pause. Anna: "Say yes Charlotte! Say yes! Just say it!" . . . ) No.
