Demise of the princess
I have waited for this day for a long time. I wasn't sure it would ever come.
Kenzie said to me, "Mom, I don't think I really like princesses." Trying to hold back my hip-hip-hurray I said, "oh really, why is that?" She continued, "well, I don't like the fact that they're just born into being able to rule the world. I don't like that. I don't think that people should be able to rule other people." Trying to test her resolve I said, "well, what do you think about someone like Barack Obama? He is set to rule the most powerful nation in the world." She quickly retorted, "yes, but he wasn't born into it. People voted him in. That's different. We chose to have him as our leader."
Oh yes, this is a proud day...
