“Daddy’s Staring At Me Interestingly Like I Have a Job”

Spent the day with Kina yesterday, as Laurea spent a little time at the spa. This gave me the chance to watch her destroy a beef patty in order “to find the pudding”, to help her buy two completely non-princess dresses, and to convince her to let us converse in operatic recitative for over half an hour—probably the greatest triumph of them all.

Amidst all of this, I was clearly gazing at her lovingly, which she interpreted as having something to do with employment. It’s an oddball headline, but it’s Sunday and we’ll take it.

For a later Daily Kina, I’ll come back to this question of the fading interest in princess dresses. The feeling is subtle but present, and Kina’s dress purchase yesterday signified something to me that I’ll have to confirm in a few months. The end of an era, maybe.

The production of this morning’s Parade required the sacrifice of several pounds of blue pastel crayons. I drew the cloud. Do you like it?
