Prince and Princess

On the way to school this morning, my 5 year old asked me....mummy, are we royal family?

Mum, weaving through mad traffic, with hair plastered on head ( no time to blow dry hair)....looking far from a queen...said, No darling....we are most certainly NOT royal family.

5 year old said, Then....I am not a prince?

Mum....nope, you are not a prince darling.

How can I be a prince then?

Mmmm.....you have to marry a princess.

Is Denise ( the girl he most sayang in school..and feelings are mutual by the way) a princess?

No, she is not a real princess ( mum put on her most sympathetic voice while trying to avoid rude drivers on the road)

Then I have to find a real princess when I grow up, said he.

OK darling....you do that.

AND, I will find one that is NOT married.

Yes darling...preferably!
