Once upon a time a in a land far far far away (Up North.. jeeze) a very very long long long time ago ( but I don't think I should tell you how long) a little Princess was born.
Much to her parents utter dismay the Princess turned out to be not so princessie after all. More content playing cowboy and Indians outside in the fresh air, tying up her invisible pony for the night before coming in the house not as clean as you would imagine a princess to be.
But as time moved on the princess realized that she would better capture the attention of suitors with a freshly made up face and a beautiful gown.
Leaving behind the Indians and the dust, the princess would learn to play cat and mouse with the all the poor boys in town with her gleaming smile.
After meeting a handsome prince who's hand she accepted in marriage the Princess gave birth to a princess of her own, which was only a long time ago.. not a very very very long long time ago.
Much to her shock and disappointment the Princesses Princess never did learn that dresses and bows was where it's at. Instead the Princesses Princess is still playing in the dirt!
Thankfully and in spite of having a princess who wasn't keen on clean, the princess herself did not forget how to present herself to the public.
Even having fine gowns bestowed on her on special occasions.
She was one foxy Princess that is no doubt!
And on the rare occasion you could capture the princess napping close to her first love.. the fresh air.. and the dirt.
The princess also reared a handsome prince who would take her for a spin on the ballroom dance floor while others gazed on in amazement at the princesses beauty, and dance moves of course.
After some time and not so long ago at all the Princesses Princess bestowed on her mother Grand Prince and Princesses. As you can see from the littlest princess at the left, she too was not as princessie as the first or second Princess. (I suppose she got the non shirt wearing from her Grand Princess)
But in time that changed, and the Princess would take her Grand Princess to the ball. Presenting her to the public with pride.
Then even shorter than not so long ago the Princess was presented with a Grand Prince from her handsome Prince of son and his chosen bride the beauty Princess of Yorktown. The whole family fell in love.
After many years and trials and tribulations the Princess and the Princesses Princess realized that while they were different and would likely never be the same or frequently see eye to eye, there was a bond, a bond of mother and child, a bond of happiness and joy, a bond of sadness and tragedy, a bond of friendship, a bond of dirt (even if one never out grew it) and most of all a bond of love.
Happy birthday Mama. I love you.
