Once upon a time, less than 24 hours ago, to be exact…
The King-ish person arrived home at the Kingdom. He was back from doing whatever it is a King-ish type person does to bring home the royal bacon.
The King came running into the royal kitchen, and noticed the Reigning Queen Supreme sitting at the royal table…twittering from her cell and blogging from her laptop…because even royalty like to blog and tweet.
The King rolled his eyes at the Queen. Grunted at the kitchen sink, which was full of dishes. Snorted at the dining room table that was full clean and unfolded royal garments. And muttered something to the Queen…which basically went unheard. Something about, had someone ACTUALLY been paying attention…his cell phone wasn’t working and seeing that the Queen was so busy doing nothing on hers…he’ll just grab the Queens old and outdated cell phone. The one that the little princesses and princes use when they leave the castle.
And he disappeared.
For a while.
But…
The Queen didn’t really notice. After all, she was VERY BUSY…ignoring her royal duties…because, due to the economy, there had to be budget cuts which meant…the Queen also doubles as the scullery maid, the cook, the royal laundress…and various other UNSAVORY titles.
Suddenly, in the middle of a tweet and a blog comment…
The Queen heard a strange buzzing coming from the counter, near the sink.
Maybe it was the pots and pans…revolting.
So the Queen…trying to raise one eyebrow in curiosity…
sighed.
Put down her cell phone in mid tweet.
Left the laptop with a comment, un-posted…
And walked over to investigate.
The Kings cell phone was buzzing and gyrating wildly across the counter, sounding very much like those “toys” that arrive, almost daily, at the Kingdoms drawbridge.
The Queen…picked it up. She tried to raise the other eyebrow…
because this number on the screen…was very familiar.
As in…
the Queens very good friend, Nicole.
Calling her husband? Surely this was a mistake??
But then, the Queen had a revelation.
She put two and two together to make…
40.
The Queen…
is NOT stupid.
But the King…
notsomuch.
Just like he got caught ALMOST having an affair back in May…
By leaving text messages un-erased.
And Facebook threads to be found…by a very nosy Queen…who knows all the Kings passcodes…
sigh…
The Queen suddenly realized that…
the King took her old cell phone…because remember, she hadn’t been paying attention due to all those twittering blogs…
And…
Was using her old address book on her old cell phone to call all her friend…
to plan a surprise birthday party for her.
Only…
He forgot to take HIS phone with him.
Just in case people called him back…to RSVP.
But…
The Queen is OK with it NOT being a surprise.
Because now she KNOWS…
She really needs to do something…
QUICK…
about her roots…
and her eyebrows…
Before next Saturday.
And…oh yeah…
She also realized…
that she will ALWAYS know when the King is up to no good.
Because…
He is NO GOOD…
at being sneaky.
And the Queen…
is very pleased…
because the King…
also realizes this.
So the Queen grins…
happy with the fact that her husband actually decided to plan this party…
and happy with the fact that her husband is a lousy sneak.
She lowers both brows.
And walks back to the table.
To continue twittering.
And to continue blogging.
With thoughts that the King, once again…
Provided some pretty decent blog fodder.
I think the king may deserve a surprise of his own! *wink*
HAHAHAHA!
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!!
All hail the Queen! I would hate to think you had to put him in the dungeon.
Cool! A party!!!! That you don’t have to plan!
(Hopefully you also won’t have to clean up after it.)
oh….you are so clever…love the way you wrote this…
ROFLMAO
He may not be the King,but he is a prince for planning a royal party for you (even though he can sometimes, like all princes…be a royal pain in the royal ass).
So, polish your tiara, Queen, forget that God-awful corset, but buy a pair of NEW Cinderella slippers, and a new royal gown for the royal ball, and enjoy your
the-surprise-is-in-YOU party!!!
He did! LOL – I was worried for a minute
Had me nervous for a min! Oooo better get ready for your party!
Yup, nervous here too. One never knows what a king might get up to. Happy early birthday. (that’s cause usually I’m late. )
If I was the king I would cancel the party, ingrate.
sara…
obviously, you are a new reader to my blog. and i thank you for your comment. i will forgive your ignorance when it comes to the tone of my posts. so for now, this reigning queen will not banish you from this kingdom. because here, in my kingdom, all types are welcome.
Par-tay! Sounds like it’s going to be good if he’s going to all this trouble.
That was quite devious of you, I must say. Kinda fun to know you’re the one who knows everything that’s going on whether anyone else knows it or not. Bwahaha.
Hmmm…still trying to figure out how you’re an ingrate. I don’t get that at all.
My husband threw me a surprise party once and I looked like I was going out for chicken wings and beer. Not. Pretty. You are SO lucky to know in advance!
The queen has arrived. 😉 Teehee.
all hail the queen. she sees all and knows all.
we must both suck at math. I also add 2 plus 2 as 40! well…i can breathe a bit easier knowing I can’t ruin any surprise now!:) were trying to figure out if we can change plans to make it. not sure we can. ill keep you guys posted. now go back and learn your math. :))
Awww that is so sweet… Happy early Bday… Now go get plucked. hehehe.
You received the Friendship Award on my blog…
This castle sounds like alot of fun … Happy Birthday, your Highness …
