Vocabulary I Learned From Six-Year-Olds

Boss Princess

When playing Princesses in a group, it is important that the leader distinguish herself. Obviously if everyone is a princess nobody outranks anyone, so the Boss Princess title helps eliminate confusion about just who is in charge of this playtime.

If I’d only known this term as a kid. I would have owned my power-grubbing princess pals.

So why *is* it always princesses and never queens, anyway? Fantasy life of spoiled rich kid having everything with no consequences or responsibilities?

_{Asking as one who played "Narnia" or "Wolf Pack" as a kid, but never "Princesses".}

Oddly, I don't recall ever pretending I was royalty in my childhood games. Which is weird, cause I theoretically should've gobbled that shit up, but I've no recollection of it. I do remember playing an archaeologist once...

I solved this problem by volunteering to be the prince.

*laugh* Oh, that's marvelous. I'm not sure if I should reveal this secret to my daughters or not...

I seem to remember being the "poor stepdaughter of the queen who was kicked out and lives on the street" to the neighbour girls' "queen" and "real princess who is not a stepdaughter", despite being older than the oldest neighbour girl by a good six years. Or Robin Hood, where I was Robin, or King Arthur, where I was Arthur. Weird.
