I've posted before about breakfast table conversations. I find that I need to keep my computer handy because the things that come out of the kids' mouths at that time of the morning are often things I just don't want to forget. This morning was no exception.
I didn't pipe up, but I certainly would like to know about whom she is talking. The only princess I see is her, and we are trying our best not to raise her that way, if you know what I mean. The day she realizes that her siblings are telling her the truth, that she cannot just be a princess, and that she actually needs a job, well, that will certainly be her awakening day. Remind me not to be here.
Zoe: Melina, what are you going to do when you grow up?
Melina: What?
Aaron: What are you going to do? What kind of job are you going to have?
Melina: I am going to be a princess.
Talia: You can't be a princess. You need a job.
Melina: Well, you know something? There are real princesses around here.
