Observations: Princess on Shrek v. Daddy

Scene: Princess and Deb are cuddled on the couch, watching Shrek 3 on television.

Princess: Mommy, did you see that?  Shrek wouldn't get out of bed!

Deb: I saw that.

Princess: He just pulled the covers up and went back to sleep!

Deb: Yes.

Princess: Daddy does that.

Deb: Yes, he does.

Princess: And Daddy has funny feet like Shrek, too.

Deb: I suppose you could say that.

Princess: And daddy thinks it's funny when something stinks, just like Shrek.

Deb: Well, I guess-

Princess: And you remember when Shrek sat in the mud, and all the bubbles came up, because-

Deb: Yes, sweetie, I know.  Shrek and your daddy are a lot alike.

Princess: Yes.  But daddy's not green, Mommy.

Deb: No, he's not.

Princess: And we don't live in a swamp, we live in a house.

Deb: Yep.

Princess: But Daddy loves you like Shrek loves Fiona.

Deb: Yes, he does.

Princess: You and Daddy love each other and you love me and Dexy because we are a family.

Deb: Yes, sweetie.

Princess: (thoughtful pause)

Deb: What is it, honey?

Princess: Why do Daddy's feet look like that?

Fin.
