It Must Have Been the Queens
About a month ago, my aunt and uncle visited our house. As usual, my Best Girl made a grand entrance in a princess dress, and my uncle attempted to compliment her. Unfortunately, his words made her run from the room sobbing. She wouldn't go near him for the rest of the day.
These are the words that prompted many, many tears...
"Wow! Here comes the queen!"
After much digging, we discovered that my Best Girl thinks all queens are wicked. She thought my uncle was saying something very ugly about her. We tried to explain that not all queens are evil, but she wouldn't buy it. When you think about it, queens are often portrayed as villains, so I understand her reasoning. This was not, however, the meaning my uncle intended.
Last week, I was reading to my Best Girl and Favorite Boy from a daily Bible about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. I explained that the people in the two cities were very wicked. My Best Girl nodded and said, "They must have had a lot of queens living there."
I guess we still have some explaining to do.
