dear minibean,

i received this from your aunt pixie a few days ago and its something that i have to agree with.

thought that i am the only one having this thought but apparently there are other mummies out there who think alike.

it is starting to disturb me as i see more and more parents calling their child prince & princess. i always feel that "princess" is more of a title and it denotes royalty and a class above the rest. that is not good.

in reality, i am not a queen and neither is your daddy a king. hence, we cant give you the title of a royalty. what we can give you is food, a warm bed, education and all our love.

you are also not a class above the rest. we are all human beings made in God's likeness. you may be served in shops and restaurants but remember, you do not deserve or demand it. they are not your servants and you are not in any ways more superior than them. they are there to help you and make your shopping/dinning experience more comfortable and streamlined. period.

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else. - Margaret Mead

so i am sorry but you will never be a princess (unless you married a prince) not because i do not love you. but its my job to keep you rooted and i hope that one day you will truly understand me. but you can have a princess themed party when you are older if you like - one day of make-believe wont hurt i guess. =)

i love you dearly and always will.
