I was reading a gorgeous book to my little one last night about a young princess traveling out of her homeland to become the Queen. Marrying, of course...
In her preparations she had to say goodbye to all the things she knew and loved, including her parents.
My daughter looked at me and said, "It's sad that she's leaving all her princess things behind, but I guess that's what you have to do to learn the new rules. The rules of the Queen."
And I looked into her beautiful little moon-face and said, "Yes, Sweetheart, every princess must learn the new rules..." and I tried not to cry at the realization tthe the younger generation is much quicker, smarter, and wiser than I'll ever hope to be.
I'm STILL trying to learn the rules of the Queen!
