Wait, you must think it is one of those cliches every parent say to their daughters. You are probably right because truthfully, one would look back three generations to find the Blue Bloods from her maternal and paternal lineage. Calling my Merit 'princess' is a sort of nickname, and she smiles when I call her that. She is absolutely cute like that. To me, She is a Princess in every word and I love her to bits.
There is another way to make her a 'Princess' legitimately though.
Earlier this morning, while taking a break from writing a course material on a totally different subject, I got thinking about Royalty, the title given to the Royal families (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_family) and Royalty,the usage based payments made by a party (the Licensee) to another (the Licensor) for the ongoing usage of an asset or intellectual property (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royalties). I realised I could either make my 'Princess' a cliche, A Royalty earner or a really distant Royalty that stretched into several generations. I chose the former. Below is a short (unfinished) poem I drafted to seal my thoughts;
ROYALTY
I work hard now/
So when you ask
'Are you blue-blooded'?
My daughter can say/
'I am Royalty because my Mother earns ROYALTY from hard work, invention and copyright'.
Princess Merit, when she was four months old.
Infectious smiles!
