A Fairy Tale

Once upon a time there was a beautiful queen and handsome king who lived in a magical land with their children: a prodigious prince, and precocious princess.

The queen and king were about to augment the royal family with the addition of another princess, but the princess refused to
come. So the queen and king waited, and waited, and waited.

Until one day, the princess-to-be's fairy-godmother, Nai Nai, waived her magic wand, and, with a "bibbity bobbity boo," the palace was decorated for an unexpected baby shower, complete with gifts and games.

Grateful for the diversion, the royal family celebrated the much anticipated, though much belated, arrival of their unpunctual daughter. All the guests enjoyed a dandy time, playing pin the diaper, measure mommy'stummy, and other sundry and cleaver games, and of course, the gifts were the wonderful type only a fairy-godmother can supply.

The baby still hasn't come; reports indicated that the stork has been blown of course, but is expected to reach Utah Valley by Monday.

The King's messengers are poised to spread the news far and wide as soon as her royal highness, the princess Inky Winky, deems to make her illustrious appearance.
