“The Princess”, A Short Story

Nefarious was jealous that I’ve been working on all these book projects, so before we got up (she was very bored this morning, having been checking on Caitlin and I every half hour from six-thirty onward… yes, we are very tired) she wrote this book and then had me use the computer to shrink the pages down so they could be bound into a mini-book for her dolls.

Kindergarten Writing Translation:

THE PRINCESS BY ARI
I am the queen.
I live in a castle.
I am a baby princess.
I am a witch. I am bad.
I am a princess.
The witch gave the princess a poison apple (“huuuuh…” — “die!”).
The princess falls into a deep sleep (“zzz… zz…”).
And the prince woke the princess.
And then they lived happily ever after.

Disney’s marketing team wins again!

She’s moved on to exercising now… Wii Fit has been quite the hit.

    This is 100% her… All I did was some of the physical labor.

    She’s always creating — constantly singing, writing little stories, etc… Far far more than I remember doing at her age (and I’d suggest that I was probably encouraged more that she is). Might be a single child thing.

    I swear, I am so jealous. I was not nearly that creative when I was five. That kid is SO lucky.
