"I am..."

"Ich bin eine Prinzessin..." she said when she left the classroom at noon.

And that was it. Everything she did that day required a royal attitude, the little finger raised occasionally and the paper crown on her head - all the time.

And so dinner time found me with a very select company in my kitchen, working for her meal (rolling pancakes) and singing: Backe, Backe Kuchen...

Storytime in real lifetime.
