Thursday afternoon while various people bummed around waiting for some friends to arrive, I sat on the counter flipping through a Swim Suit catalog....

Me, addressing Mom: Aw, why do the prints always have to be more expensive?

Essie, exasperated: Havi, they're not 'spensive. Prince' are always handsome, and princesses' are always beautiful...


(I dunno...my reaction was first: *saucer eyes* "Mooooooom....what is WRONG with her...."

and then

oh, a lot of clutching of the stomache, rolling around in uncontrollable laughter etc. Feel free to at LEAST experience the first one.)
