"Where is my candy?"

...The indignant Disney princess said! The orange blinking pumpkin had just been loaded with a bagged assortment of play-dough---something that lit up the eyes of many, and caused pause with a few parents! This princess was having none of it! She wanted CANDY as this was the day of candy!

Never mind that her pumpkin was bulging with sugary goodies. Never mind that she was 4, and did not need all that candy. Never mind that play dough is dentally responsible, does not contribute to childhood obesity, and has play value that far exceeds the momentary sugary high of Halloween candy! To the very pink Disney princess, a piece of bubble gum in the hand was worth 5 containers of playdough in the pumpkin.

Too bad, Dear Princess. The cowboy liked it, and the tiger was thrilled! The ladybug skipped down the walk excitedly yelling, "Hey, I gots playdough!" My guess is that next week, dear princess, you will love the playdough.

That is the thing with being a princess. It is hard to reconcile your expectations with reality!

They make Playdough perfume . . . I saw it at that Sefora knock-off near your house.

I'm thinking perfect Christmas present for everyone on my list.
