Paisley had a hard night last night. She awoke in excruciating pain. "My neck! My neck hurts!" Scott ran to her room and came back in our bed, with Paisley stiffly in his arms.
She had snuck a Blow Pop (wrapped, thank heavens)under her pillow before she went to sleep and it somehow ended up under her neck all night. I had to give her Tylenol before school and she still couldn't turn her neck.
I dropped her off and explained to her teacher the situation. Ms. Stephanie cleverly replied, "Well okay, Princess and the Pea!" :)
Here's a little synopsis of that story. By Hans Christian Anderson. From Wikipedia.
The story tells of a prince who wants to marry a princess, but is having difficulty finding a suitable wife. Something is always wrong with those he meets, and he cannot be certain they are real princesses. One stormy night (always a harbinger of either a life-threatening situation or the opportunity for a romantic alliance in Andersen's stories),[1] a young woman drenched with rain seeks shelter in the prince's castle. She claims to be a princess, so the prince's mother decides to test their unexpected guest by placing a pea in the bed she is offered for the night, covered by 20 mattresses and 20 feather beds. In the morning the guest tells her hosts—in a speech[1]—that she endured a sleepless night, kept awake by something hard in the bed; which she is certain has bruised her. The prince rejoices. Only a real princess would have the sensitivity to feel a pea through such a quantity of bedding. The two are married, and the pea is placed in the Royal Museum.
So there is her future Prince's warning.
(I'm going to check in on her at school, here in a bit.)
