The Aged Princess

James often creates games for him and Katie to play, with one of her all time favorites being "Karate Chop Princess".  Deeply immersed in their activity, they elaborated on the original game by venturing into the future when the Karate Chop Princess is all grown up.  James, the narrator of the scene, started to say, "Okay, now the Princess is 20 years old ..." when Katie suddenly interrupted and said with great surprise, "I'm twenty? I'm so old!" (6/30/11)

The Wedding Dress

Katie and Danny were having a conversation about how one day Katie will get married.  Danny said to her, "You will have to wear a big white dress".  Katie, a bit distraught, replied, "But I don't have a big white dress".  Danny, not budging on his position, firmly stated, "Well, the girl HAS to wear a big white dress when she gets married."  Sensing that she was about to get upset, I intervened and said, " Katie, When you get married, Daddy and I will buy you the prettiest white dress ever".  Katie immediately perked up and shouted, "We can get it from Target!"  (10/17/10)
