What would a princess do?

Savannah, seeing her brother's success with his Knock Out Cancer Challenge, asked if there was something she could do that was just hers.  

Savannah:  I want to do something.  Not karate.

Mom:  Ballet?

Savannah: No.  My leotard is too tight.

Mom: A song?

Savannah:  No, I already did that, remember?

Mom, having clearly forgotten:  I absolutely remember.  What do you think you'd like to do?

Savannah:  Something about horses.

Mom:  We don't have a horse, Sav.  And I don't know how we could incorporate horses into our message.  Or where we'd even find a horse.

Savannah:  Um, the yellow pages.

Mom, feeling The Headache coming on and rubbing her temples:  Any other thoughts, kiddo?

Savannah:  Yes!  Rapunzel!!

Mom:  Okay!  What would Rapunzel like to do?

Savannah:  Ride a horse.

Mom, having flashes forward of what the teen years are going to be like:  Something without horses.

Savannah:  I don't know then.

Mom:  Do you want to talk to our readers?

Savannah:  Yes!  I could read them a book!

Mom:  You're just learning how to read, kiddo.  We're not quite there yet.  But I have an idea.  Remember the Disney princess books you have where they all try to solve different problems?  And how they all say the same thing as they think about what to do to solve the problem?


Savannah:  Oh!  Yes!  Just like when Ariel had to tell Triton that the pitsytooter was hers, and not Alana's!

Mom:  Would you like me to help you say some things to our readers, and then maybe you could end with that one line from the book?


Savannah:  YES!

And so, ladies and gentlemen, may I present Savannah, aka Princess Rapunzel, in our Cyrano de Bergerac style of....an interview with Rapunzel.  No horses were harmed in this interview.

 

Who can resist a beautiful princess?  If you would like to donate to our team, please visit the team page for The Cave Crashers.  From there, you can see Savannah's name toward the bottom listed as a team member, and if you'd like to donate directly to Savannah's page you can click on her name to donate.  If she raises $100 on her page, she gets a pretty awesome Relay For Life t-shirt.  You can also visit Savannah's page directly, but the default Relay picture of a random mom and daughter pops up when you click on the link and I don't know how to fix it; I just don't want anyone to be confused if/when you visit the page and don't see Savannah.  Our American Cancer Society rep is working on it.  


As always, dear readers, I thank you...WE thank you...for your continued support.
