The First Princess.

Kaitlin: Mommy, can I be a princess? Like, a REAL one. I don't want to pretend anymore.

Me: Well, we don't really have princesses here in the Philippines. [At least not one that she has in mind, i.e., the Disney kind.] You know why? Coz we have a President.

Kaitlin: But I can be the first, right?

Me: Errr, yeaaaaaahhh... but you have to study hard.

Kaitlin: But why?

Me: Coz princesses live in castles, and I can't afford one. If you want to be the first princess of the Philippines, you have to study hard, then get a really good job, earn lots of money... Then you can afford a castle!

Kaitlin: Oh. Right.

Me: So study hard, okay? :)

Kaitlin: Yeah, but you said we don't really have princesses here naman, diba? (Shrugs, gives a small smile, and walks out.)

Her current favorite: Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time
