This one goes out to my baby, another princess who kicks butt.

So the Princess Who Kicked Butt was surrounded with books from her earliest days. She seemed happy to spend her time reading, when she wasn’t riding or dancing or swimming or running around the kingdom talking with everyone about what they were doing and why they were doing it and how they might do it better. The king and the queen were delighted with their daughter, and only once did they express any doubt about her title.
The king said, “Have you noticed that she doesn’t read very often?”
The queen shrugged. “The Fairy didn’t call her the Princess Who Read All the Time.”
“That’s true,” said the king. And then he said, “Have you noticed that she reads fairy tales and adventure novels and almost nothing else?”
The queen shrugged again. “The Fairy didn’t call her the Princess Who Read Schoolbooks.”
“That’s true,” said the king. “And if history remembers her as the Princess Who Read Silly Stories When She Had Nothing Better to Do, well, what does that matter if she’s happy?”

Must remember to pick up more stuff from Mr. Shetterly.
