The Little Princess Who Wouldn't Stay In Bed

Once upon a time there was a princess who wouldn't stay in bed. She was always sneaking out for like, more drinks of water and stuff.
Unfortunately there was a monster that lived in her closet and preyed on little girls who got out of bed.
*sluuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrp*

THE END


(I told this story to my 6-yr old cousin last night, and this was her when I was done:)
And now I feel like a jerk. A big jerk. On the other hand, she did stay in bed all night...

    @Anthony - I talked to my aunt today and apparently my cousin laughed at this blog post--which is encouraging. It means I haven't scarred her for life, anyway.

    Okay, if this is your sense of humor and storytelling, I want to read yours all the more. Very Neil-Gaiman-esque. :) Poor little cousin.

    I. Love. This. Especially the picture of her getting sucked up.

    Would you consider doing a boy version of this one so I can show my son? Then again, he is only four... ;)
