Have you ever heard of the Princess and the Pea? ... Just in case ... It's A story by Hans Christian Andersen. A prince insists on marrying a real princess. When a woman comes to his door maintaining that she is a real princess, the prince's mother tests her by burying a pea under a huge stack of mattresses and then ordering the woman to sleep on the mattresses. The woman cannot sleep and therefore passes the test: being a true princess, she is so delicate that the pea keeps her awake.
The other day Gordo announces ... Pooker Annie ... I really don't like any wrinkles on my sheets. I laughed and replied ... Well your "Majesty" ... I'll do my best and I hope you don't feel that "pea" either. Then he looks at me strangely and asks ... Why? Is my Foley bag leaking again? Oh no dad ... a pea not pee. Well evidently Dad has never heard the story ... so I told him.
This morning after he woke up he tells me that he had a good night sleep, but he felt the pee. So I ran over to his bed to make sure it wasn't wet. Dad ... nope it's dry. He retorts ... pea ... not pee... GOTCHA!
LOL ... what have I started?
