I yam a pwincesh

When papah is around, sometimes Gooly mengada-ngada a bit. This is especially so during nap times. He would have 101 methods to delay it. And he would have 101 things to do prior to hopping into the bed. The infamous request would be, " I want papah to sleep with me, " when the bed isn't exactly big.

It is quite a chore telling him that Papah isn't sleepy (yes, he is.. he will be cranky if he doesn't sleep) or the bed is too small (no, it isn't. I can move over, you see?) We can talk until the face turns blue, and he'd still have the same demand.

Yesterday, I hopped into the bed and plucked a fairy tale from mid air. I bluffed said to him, "Mahmee is a princess..and Papah is the evil giant, and you are the knight. Can you protect me.. don't let the giant get me."

His eyes glistened with eagerness as he wrapped his arm around me after he commanded, "You giant, stay out!" as he closed the door.

Tee-hee.

And then in a very macho voice, he said, "Go to sleep, my princess. I will protect you. Don't worry.."

He covered me with the blanket, put his arms around me, and slowly drifted off to sleep, too.

Once the 'knight' snored a little, I clambered out of bed to resume my pm. activities.

A copla hours later, I heard him woke. And guess what he said?

"Where's MY princess?"

Yoh..so cute! Skali skala become pwinscesh nice also! (nah plastic bag.. i know you want to puke)
