Just call me Queen please.

Years ago when I began to have granddaughters I began to call them my little princesses.  Even though they are currently 10, 8, 7, 6, 3, 1, 19months and 3 months they are still my little princesses and I will still greet them or address them by their Royal title.  They never complain when I do and they respond quite naturally because they have heard it all of their lives.  I truly do believe that each of them are princesses in their own rights and that they know it because they have been told it enough that they believe it. 

What about the boys you ask?  I have called them princes but they did not take to that title like the girls took to being called princesses.  They seemed to give me squinty looks, they didn’t say anything but I think they believed something must have been wrong with their grandmother I could tell by the way they looked at me.  So, instead of calling them princes I call them “little man” which each seems to appreciate much better.  Somehow I think that nick name is more manly and they appreciate it for that very reason. 

One day I was calling the girls Princess Haley and Princess Allie and Haley being oldest said, “Grammy if we are Princesses doesn’t that make you a Queen?  You are Queen Grammy!”  For just a moment I was speechless then my voice kicked in and I spokeright up and had to say, “I guess it does” and I have been Queen Grammy ever since.  That explains the “QGrammy” car tag on the back of my car in case anyone has ever wondered. 

I love my Grandchildren, all my princesses AND all my little men, they are blessings EVERY ONE!
