The things we teach.
As my daughters grew up we would as watch the secret garden. It's a little girl classic at least to my family.
My daughters of course being curious little girls would ask me every time they watched it if it was true and all little girls were princess's. As any mothers would answer, mine was no different, I would say yes.
As they got older and wiser they said how did I know? So I would asked them what makes a princess? They said many things like kind smart beautiful etc. then I asked who were princess's. They didn't know how to answer. So I asked if kings daughters were princess. They agreed I was correct. So I said well there you go. I told them they were the child of a king.
They laughed and said no daddy's not a king. I smiled and then told they were wrong and asked if god was not a king. My oldest smiled and said yes he is. My answer was see you two, me and all little girls are the child of a king. So all little girls were indeed a princess.
There has never been a time my daughters have ever forgotten that. And well one learned it a little to well.
As a young adult she choose to join the military. While she was in basic her drill Sargent one day screamed in her face asking what was she thinking and was she a princess private @@@@@@? Without thinking she just smiled and said yes. As you can imagine that did not go well in basic. He screamed some more and yelled really explain. At that point she couldn't believe she had said yes. She was like mom it just came out. It came out faster than my brain could say shut up. And at that point I was already in for and I had nothing to lose, so I told him " I was a princess and all little girls were princess's because they were the child of a king. 😂😂 at this point I'm like omg and your still alive. She smiled and said that he smoked the living crap out of her that day. But the next morning he brought her a cup of coffee handed it to her and told her, that in his entire 17 years in the military service that her answer was the best answer he had ever gotten. And that he would be teaching his daughter that. She took the coffee and drank it even though she doesn't drink coffee.
She told me thank you and, that cup of coffee was the worst best cup of coffee she’d ever drank and that it was for both of us.
I may not be the smartest adult or prettiest I may not fit in any place in this world. I might be a misfit, but I have done a few things right in this world.
So yes all little girls are princesses no matter how old they are.
