Confessions of a Free Bird 2

I watched this movie once where a princess took a bath in this water that was milky white. Being young when I saw it, I decided that it was a mark of a princess to take baths where the water was so milky, you could not see your flesh. In the years since, I have discovered that Irish Spring soap does really well for making the water cloudy, but not milky. So I spent many a bath trying to use enough soap to create the desired effect, sorry mom.

Well tonight during my bath, I realized I am apparently pale enough to almost hide in the cloudy bath water and while completely immersing myself in the illusion that I am a princess, my dogs came in and stood a safe distance away from the tub to look at me with those droopy eyes. (They've learned I have a thing for spontaneously bathing them so they try to stay away from the tub)

My response to their questioning gazes: Be gone you servants. I have no need of your services this eve and I dare say you hamper my relaxation with your mere presence. Now shoo before I demand you beheaded for your disobedience!

I don't think they understood I was a princess at the time.
