Evelyn: Daddy, what's an "apprentice"?
Daddy: It's someone who learns to make things from a master. So a copper's apprentice learns how to make barrels from a copper. A cobblers apprentice learns how to make shoes from a copper.
Evelyn gave it some thought. Then, she said: A princess doesn't make things.
Daddy asks: What does a princess do then?
Evelyn: A princess cleans, dances, and has helpers (ala Cinderella's mice or Snow White's woodland animals).
Yes, that's right, a princess doesn't just sit around dressed all pretty. She cleans and dances, too, and maintain friendships with little animals. I'll take that.
