Sweet Emily wanted to say something nice to Patience and Monica. 

She told them they were "princesses and angels".

In her world, that is about as good as it gets.

So a couple days ago, I told her something similar and she gushed.

She loved it. 

She came over and kissed me.

I get the princess connection. 

We add in that God is our King.

Princesses must have good hearts.

And she knows that Angels protect her. 

She knows they are stronger than hippos. 

She double checks regularly about the "stronger than hippos" part. 

It's totally legitimate concern... if we lived in Africa. 

So funny.
