This month’s fairy tale is the Princess and the Pea. If you remember, the old queen tests to see if the bedraggled girl the prince is to marry is a REAL Princess. She puts a pea under 20 mattresses and twenty eider-down beds. If the girl is a REAL princess she will feel the pea as she sleeps.
I feel discomfort at everything in bed at night: slightly bunched up night-gown, the buttons on the mattress tufting, a hard pillow pressing my ear. All this time I thought it was fibromyalgia sensitivity to pressure. Turns out I must be a REAL Princess!
(Assignment is to do vignettes of possible “bed scenes”)

The test of a REAL princess is tenacity and
ingenuity, not vegetable intolerance.
Love, love, love this. So clever and full of humor:) It’s on my desktop. You are a Princess in the Art world, oh and probably at home as well.

Lyn,
I think that most of us have missed our calling in some way or other. And the older we get the harder our hearing.
Thanks for the FABULOUS!

Perhaps “bed mounting” should be a new Olympic sport?!
