I look pretty dumb, huh?

Mom's all moon-eyed again. She does that every time she brushes out my hair after curling it. It's not so bad, I guess. I mean, she really does love me and all, and it really makes her happy to play "dress up" like this with me.

I just wish she wouldn't go so far overboard.

Can I tell you a secret? Ya gotta promise not to tell anybody, all right? Promise? Please … say you won't tell? Okay, here goes …

Whenever we play "dress up," well … she likes calling me "Princess." Pretty funny, huh? Well … it makes her happy and I kinda like the way she says that word ….
