Princess Kimberley
by carolynholm
Mommy!
Mia says I was born to wear a tiara!
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I’m not sure she meant that as a compliment.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
This is what aristocrats wear!!!!!
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
You’re all making way too much of this aristocrat business.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
Molly says my name should be Princess.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
You are a sweet little princess!
Love, Carolyn
Mommy!
Can that be my new name?
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Let’s make it a nickname.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
I thought my nickname was Lady Pants.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
It is, but you can have more than one.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
That’s right! You call me Honey and Sweetie!
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I do, but I call all of you Honey and Sweetie.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
And Honey Pie.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I’m a gushing fount of clichéd terms of endearment.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
And once in awhile you call me Cupcake.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I do. That’s another name that suits you.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
But I still have some wolf in me, don’t I?
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
A little maybe. How about we use the word “wolfish”?
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
I am wolfish!
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
You are. You are capable of being quite wolfish, sweetie. You’re doing a good job stalking rats in the chicken coop. Has Molly been giving you tips on that?
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
Molly says she was the best rat dog ever, and that I’ll never be as good as she was.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I think she’s reluctant to relinquish her crown.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
This is her crown?
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
No, the tiara is yours. I was referring to her title as Rat Dog. She’s very proud of it. She’s a tough little terrier.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
She doesn’t think I’m very tough.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Well, you aren’t a terrier. But you’re tougher than you look. When you wrestle with your pal Mika you look very wild and wolfish.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
Mia has a name for me too.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I can just imagine what that might be. I hope she is not being too rude.
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
Mia suggested I change my name to Kimberley.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That’s a much nicer name than I thought it would be. And what does Puffin suggest?
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
Puffin still won’t speak to me.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
He’ll come around one of these days. But meanwhile Kimberley is a very pretty name. It suits you!
Love, Carolyn
Mommy,
I want everyone to start calling me Kimberley.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
It’s hard to get used to new names. Let’s just add Kimberley to the list of nicknames. We can even call you Princess Kimberley once in a while.
Love, Carolyn
