Pretty Pretty Princess - Such a Manly Game...

As I sit here quietly hiding from the world I am also quietly observing a game of Pretty Pretty Princess that is in progress among my husband and daughters. Who knew such a girlie game could turn into such a testosterone-fueled competition?! It always turns into a much bigger competition when Gary plays with them. I guess that's the effect of having a man involved in the game. Granted, this man is wearing plastic clip-on earrings and a crown, but still... While watching this scene, I have to wonder what if this might truly be a game every man secretly wants to play. Okay, so maybe they wouldn't really want to play it, but it sure gives me a chuckle just thinking about what that game might look like. I just picture Gary (aka Mr. K-State Wildcat) and three of his friends (none of whom I will mention here out of respect for their masculinity) fighting over the crown. "Oh, man, not the black ring again!" "Just one more earring and I'll be the winner!" I'm pretty sure I'll never actually see it happen in my house, but just imagine what a hoot that would be to watch. Although, if there really was a game of this nature, do you really think anyone would admit to being involved? I think not.
