Sophie the First

Yesterday we went to a BBQ with some friends and had a wonderful afternoon. On the drive home from the BBQ, Josie fell asleep so Sophie & I had one of our "deep" conversations.

We had watched Disney's new movie/TV show "Sofia the First" that morning, and Sophie had apparently spent a lot of time analyzing the plot. For those that haven't seen it:

Sofia is a little girl with a commoner's background until her mom marries the King and suddenly she is royalty. With the help of the three fairies in charge of the Royal Training Academy, Sofia learns that looking like a princess isn't all that hard, but behaving like one must come from the heart.

Sophie: Why did Sofia's mom marry the king? Where was her real dad?

Me: That's a good question. I don't know for sure, but maybe something happened and her real dad died.

Sophie: Her dad died? That's really sad.

Me: That would be really sad. I know that we would be really sad if anything happened to your daddy, because we sure love him.

Sophie: Yeah. I love him so much that my heart is going to burst and it's gonna explode into thousands of tiny hearts!

Me: That's really sweet, Soph.

(a few minutes of silence go by)

Sophie: If something happened to my dad, would you marry a king?

Me: Not a chance, Sophie. We're not even going to go there.

Sophie: Oh. Okay.
