Conversation About Princesses

Thursday, July 18, 2013


This happened in my car. Audrey and her friend were in the back seat and we had been playing a made up game What am I? which is kind of like a kid's twenty questions.

Friend: "Let's play 'What princess am I?'"

Audrey: "Uh, ok. But my mommy doesn't like princesses."

Me: "Princesses are okay. I just think Wonder Woman is cooler."

Friend: "Wonder Woman?"

Me: "Yeah. She get's to fly and help people and is super strong. What does a princess do?"

Long pause.

Friend: "Well, she's pretty."

Me: "Yeah. But what does she do?"

Long pause.

Friend: "She dances!" she says triumphantly.

Me: "Can she go on hikes? Does she explore? Does she do math or science?"

Friend: "She knows math and science but she doesn't do math and science."

Me: "Why not?"

Friend: "Duh, because she's a princess."
