A Memory about Princess

When I was a kid (4 years old), I liked the stories about princesses such as Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and many more. Every night before I went to sleep, my father always told me the story. I asked my father whether they were REAL or NOT REAL. He said that the princesses were real and I believed that because my father never lied to me. I started to think about being a princess and pretend to be one of them everyday because I was pretty sure that I could be a princess too. I remember the first time I tried to be a princess, I took my mother’s dress, jewelry, high heels and make-up kit from her bedroom. I put the make-up by myself and I didn’t care whether the color of the lipstick was good for me or not. After put the make-up, wore the dress, jewelry and high heels, I stood up in front of the mirror and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I thought I was the prettiest girl in the world, just like a princess. I remember, my parents didn’t angry with my habit. They often laughed at me because I often said, “Hi, I’m Cinderella (or Snow White or Sleeping Beauty). I’m the most beautiful girl in this world, right?” with the spoiled voice tone.

On my first year of elementary school, I still believed that the princesses were real and I still pretended to be one of them everyday. But one day, one of my friend told me that I was so stupid because I believed that the princesses were real. She said that the princesses were only characters in a story, not in the real life. I didn’t believe it so I was angry with her. When I was at home, I asked my father about it and I was shocked because he told me the same thing as my friend said before. He said that the princesses were only characters in a story. He said that they were real just to make me feel happy. I was cried but then my father said, although the princesses were not real, I was still the “princess” of my parents.

Of course, I didn’t want to be a princess again after my father said that. I still remember what my father said until now. The princesses are not real, but I’m still the “princess” of my parents :)
