Maybe Your Outfit Really Does Make An Impression

The Prince always says he likes me better than his dad and it makes me feel bad, especially because he says it right in front of the King. He's always saying, "I'm on your side , Mommy." I think if it were the other way around I would cry. I feel sorry for the King, but being the great guy that he is, he just laughs it off. I'm always wondering why he says that. He gets along great with his dad. They are two peas in a pod. They play together (stupid boy games that I am terrible at, like making shooting noises with Legos and they have light-saber duels, and they play video games together.) I on the other hand am the one who always makes him do boring stuff, like brush his teeth and get dressed for school and do his homework. How could he possible like me better? Last night I decided I would finally ask him and he told me he likes me better because I wear pretty clothes! Really, you think my clothes are pretty? Which ones? The ones with the holes in them or the stained ones from cooking and cleaning and having your brother spit up on me constantly?

I laughed and laughed when he said that. I was also relieved. I would hate to think that he thought his own father was a big fat meanie or something to that effect. It's just my wardrobe choices. Good to know.
