I really don't have anything new and exciting to talk about... sorry. But I do have a story that I thought about the other day. One that I am mildly embarrassed to actually write about... but figure you all probably have a childhood story equally as strange. So, you all know that I am not a 'pretty-pretty-princess' type of gal, but have an imagination that goes on for days! Well, the other day I was looking at Mallory wondering what she will be like as she gets older. As she starts to play dress up and make-believe. What her fantasy life will be like.
Ok, back to my story (sorry I had to give you a round-about reason on why I was actually thinking about this)... As a kid (and as an adult) I didn't have a beautiful, magical singing voice, long flowing perfect hair, parents that were the king and queen, I didn't have magical powers, or have woodland-creatures that would do my bidding... I had to come up with some other reason for some one like me (a 'normal' kid) to get herself into the castle. (hey I didn't want to be there as a princess, but that doesn't mean I didn't want to be there). :)
ANY WAY...
But what I did (and still do) have was the ability to ALWAYS pick the perfect size Tupperware for left overs! I know! AMAZING! And in my (bizarre) mind that was a very unique gift! I mean think about it, it's almost like a super power! I never have to re-transfer leftovers after picking a size too big or to small, I don't have to wash an extra lid because I grabbed the wrong top.... and in my imaginary world a talent like this would be my ticket into the castle. So what if I never met the prince. I had my ticket 'in' and that was all I needed.
So there you have it... strange? Yes. Are you guys surprised by my oddly logical child-like way of thinking? Probably not. Are you all currently laughing at my and shacking your head? Without a doubt! :)
A little laughing and a little shaking, but over-all, just what I expect from mt BF!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about how both of my girls think they are princesses with long flowing hair and at least they think, magical singing voices, and how I wasn't like that at all when I was younger. I always wonder if they will stay that way or if I will get a tomboy like I was. Man you couldn't pay me to wear a dress when I was younger, and with my two, you can't pay them to not wear a dress :)
If I am hard to get a hold of right now, it's because when I go on my 50% bed rest part of the day, I leave all phones shut off or in another room so I can actually sleep. I do all my non-resting in the morning when I am working with the girls and then about 1pm I crash. I take a bath and then a few hour nap before getting up for dinner. It probably sounds nice but it is annoying!!! But if I cheat at all I go right back into contractions. So that's life for me right now!
What do you mean "my parents weren't the king and queen"!!??
ReplyDeleteYou're so funny. I have no idea why tupperware skillz would get you into "the castle" but if that's the way in, I would never make it. I would have to get in on my wit alone, which could be a major challenge. I heard that castle gatekeepers don't "get" sarcastic humor. Oh well...I will just have to hang out in my canoe on your moat.
