Superhero Princesses Will Stop You Cold
(I’m babysitting my nieces and nephews. The oldest nephew, who’s about 5, comes up to me wearing his sister’s Cinderella costume; dress, tiara, and magic wand.)
Me: “Hello, Cinderella.”
Nephew: “Hello!”
Me: “So, you’re a princess today?”
Nephew: “Yes, I’m Cinderella… but I’m a superhero!”
Me: “You are?”
Nephew: “Yes!” *points wand at me and makes exploding noises* “Now you’re frozen and can’t catch me! That’s her power!” *runs away*
