Tales From The Kingdom…An Ongoing Saga?

The Reigning Queen Supreme gazed at her children with such pride.
She was amazed at how they saved their pennies.
And pleased at how they gathered their unused electronics to take to the local Ye Olde Game Stoppe shoppe, in hopes of trading in…
for the latest.
The greatest.
The newest.
The coolest.
Nintendo DSi.
And the Reigning Queen Supreme gazed at her children with such pride.
Because the only thing they asked for, in order to get the latest, greatest, newest, coolest gizmo…
was a ride to Ye Olde Game Stoppe Shoppe.
This made the Queen feel like she was doing something right.
That her children were actually appreciative of a dollar.
Which made them more appreciative of their Nintendo DSi.
Because they had found the means.
By THEMSELVES.
To come up with a way to buy this toy.
The day it was put on store shelves.
But…
this made the King’s children jealous.
And angry.
They wanted what the Queens children had.
And they wanted it NOW.
But they didn’t think about trading in their old games.
Or trading in their old electronics platforms.
Or saving their birthday money.
No.
They EXPECTED that SOMEONE should buy it for them.
Like…
The One Who Won’t Be Named Ever Again For Fear Of Having To Shut Down The Blog And Start Over Again.
So under the guise of yet ANOTHER birthday present…for a child who hasn’t had a birthday since January…yet somehow keeps getting presents…all year long(because a BRAND NEW Razor Scooter was JUST bought for this EXACT same (un)birthday child by the SAME EXACT people)…
A new Nintendo showed up at the Kingdom.
For only ONE of the temper tantruming children.
And the Queens beautiful children.
And the Kings beautiful daughter.
Were beyond irritated and mortified.
The Queens children…because they were so industrious in order to get theirs gaming system. And no one…guise or otherwise…helped them to get it. Not that they even asked, mind you.
The Kings daughter…was horrified because…she waaaaannnnttttsss one too. To put with all of her lost iPods and unused Gameboys. But also, because she doesn’t get this many presents all year long.
And they, all three, were crying to the Queen about the injustice of this. And they were screaming about the unfairness. And they were slamming doors…because they like the dramatics.
But the mood changed QUICKLY.
When the messenger arrived with a package for the (un)birthday boy, bearing a (un) birthday gift.
And this package, as it was greedily opened by said child…
was a Shiny.
Silver.
Gently used but refurbished…
Nintendo DS…without the i.
And while the (un) birthday boy was just as happy to have this…
a unified sigh of relief swept through the rest of the princes and princesses like a wave…
Because that game system was SO LAST CENTURY.
And the oldest Princess Losealotofstuffbutiscuteandadorable…went back to her Facebook.
And the Prince Savealotofgamesandwantstodate…took his shiny, brand spanking new DSi…out to take some pictures of himself to put on Facebook for the girl he wants to ask out.
And the Princess OMGmysnowglobefinallycamefromdisney…was too busy finding the perfect place in her perfectly kept side of her bedroom, to place her new Tinkerbell snow globe.
And Princeigetwhateveriwant…took his game system and went off to play with it.
And things in the Kingdom went back normal-ish.
And the Queen, once again, gazed upon her children proudly…
while smugly thinking to herself…
Ha! Ha! Ha!
And she wondered…
what is going to happen when her son, who turns 13 on Sunday April 19th…
is presented with a laptop.
Stay tuned for more tales from the Kingdom…
