A little pool of mommy-goo

I finally, FINALLY, get to take a few days off, and I just have to go and catch a cold. Why could I have just PREDICTED this?
Sunday I took a handful of OTC cold medications, and in a couple of hours I felt human enough to take my son to see a matinee of the movie “Enchanted” at the dollar theaters. I love dollar theaters. Ours even has a half-price “matinee”. When you only pay $1.50 for a family of three, you don’t care if you splurge a bit on the popcorn and drinks.
Halfway through the movie (which is about a cartoon princess come to life in Manhattan, if you are among the uninitiated), my son climbed up into my lap, took my face in his warm, sticky, popcorn-scented little hands, and maneuvered himself completely between myself and the screen, just to be sure he had my complete attention.
“Mommy?”
“Mmm-hmmm. Yes, Harry?”
“Mommy? Are you a Princess?”
SLOOOOOOSH.
That sound, in case you haven’t figured it out yet, was the sound of an average-sized middle aged woman melting into a pool of mommy-goo on the theater floor.

“No, dear. I’m a RETIRED princess. I’m a Duchess now.”
