Okay. I've thought it over.
I no longer wish to be Queen of England (too much responsibility).

I'll just be a princess. Or, even, simply married to a prince. But, not the one with the long face, the other guy (with the red hair).

Fine, then!
If we're going to be "playing pretend"... can I be Queen of England?

Everyone's a critic!
I just didn't think smelling like Medamusil seemed all that bad... considering what most old people smell like.

Yes, Beth, I'm wondering the same
Madame, very discouraged that you didn't give advice about the smell!! *sigh* Looks like a post edit to me.

I've had people call me honey or sweetheart...
...because they couldn't remember my name, so I am sure that's what's going on with old Abe.  You were right--referring to him as "old guy" from now on should do the trick.  But...what to do about the smell???  ~LB~ :-)

Talion,
I was going to offer the "he won't be around much longer, anyway" words of consolation/encouragement. However, I've been told I do too much of that.

I did, mmm-w,
thank you! Hope you had a fun weekend as well! I know how difficult it is to pry oneself away from their work... even to briefly enjoy the festivities, fireworks, hot dogs and what-have-you.

Madame_P.O.
To a guy that age, she is a young lady. She shouldn't worry about it anyway. How much longer will he be around?
