Princesses and Their Clothing Rules
Preschooler: Daddy says princesses can wear pants.
Me (confused but curious): Yeah, sure. Princesses can wear pants.
Preschooler: No. They only wear dresses.
Me (catching on): Oh. Well some princesses wear pants. There is a princess in England who wears pants a lot.
Preschooler: No. Princesses don't wear pants.
I was shut down. I can only imagine the original conversation where dad is trying to explain to the 4 year old how she can wear pants (probably because that is all that was clean and/or it was 30 degrees outside), not just dresses and the immediate fight that ensued. Poor dad. It was only later that I remembered a very famous princess every little girl probably knows about who does wear pants. But also not much else. So I didn't bring in the picture for proof.
