Talia's 4th

Our youngest turns another year older. It was a fun party, complete with bounce house and rent-a-princess.

Talia had specifically requested Sleeping Beauty, so Sarah tracked her down. But upon arrival, the Princess was asked by someone, "Are you Aurora?" To which the talent replied, "No, I'm Sleeping Beauty."

This was obviously a royal faux pas, and several of us parents exchanged worried looks since we knew all too well that Sleeping Beauty's real name was Princess Aurora. Remember it was Flora, Fauna and Merryweather who dubbed her Briar Rose during her underground years in the forest, and only near the end of the story when Aurora pricks her finger and slips into a deep sleep does she earn the Sleeping Beauty nickname.

The blunder didn't go unnoticed by discerning experts like Talia and Willa. Willa was particularly relentless in her disdain, and she kept needling the actress about her costume and her flimsy crown.

Eventually it blew over and a good time was had by all.
