a queen in disguise
Beth, coming up to me while I'm folding laundry: Mom, you are going to be our queen.
Me, continuing to fold: Oh, sure. Thanks.
Lucy: Because we need a queen and we couldn't find anyone else.
Me: OK.
Lucy: So you need a dress.
Me: Oh, well, I'm not going to go change my clothes right now. Maybe I'm just a queen who is dressed like a common person today.
Beth, eyeing my jeans and T-shirt critically, then nodding: Yes. There are bad people after you, so you have to be hidden. So that's why you are dressed like a maid, and that's why you are doing a maid's job. So you don't get caught.
And I continue folding laundry, now with new purpose. I knew I was doing this for a good reason.

Perfect! Hey, love the new look!
How do you do more than one picture at the top?
That is wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Jen!
Reminds me of A Little Princess. Beautiful imagination in the midst of drudgery.
