My wife has a book called, “The Queen of Everything.” It’s full of blank pages where she takes notes: particularly noting calls made to service companies or contractors. I’ve heard her on the phone. “Back on May 15, I talked to Judy who told me that …”
In a court of law when it comes to “he said, she said” the party that documents best, usually wins.
You’re holding up the wrong finger, AA. . .(my second-graders called it “the swear finger”. . .every single one of them knew what it meant. . .and that was back in the ’70s!)
[Lucy]Linus, do you know what I intend? I intend to be a queen. When I grow up, I’m going to be the biggest queen there ever was, and I’m going to live in this big palace with a big front lawn and have lots of beautiful dresses to wear, and when I go out in my coach, all the people will wave at me and I will shout at them and…
[Linus]Lucy, I believe that queen is an inherited title. Yes, I’m quite sure. a person can only become a queen by being born into a royal family of the correct lineage, so that she can assume the throne after the death of the reigning monarch. I can’t think of any possible way that you could ever become a queen. I’m sorry, Lucy but it’s true
[Lucy]And in the summertime, I will go to my summer palace and I will wear my crown in swimming and everything, and when I go out in my coach all the people will cheer me… What do you mean I can’t be a queen?
[Linus]It’s true
[Lucy]There must be a loophole. This kind of thing always has a loophole. Nobody should be kept from being a queen if she wants to be one! It’s undemocratic!
[Linus]Good grief!
[Lucy]It’s usually just a matter of knowing the right people. I bet a few pieces of well-placed correspondence and I get to be a queen in no time
[Linus]I think I’ll watch television
[Lucy]I know what I’ll do. If I can’t be a queen, then I’ll be very rich. I will work and work and be very, very rich and I will buy myself a queendom
[Linus]Good grief!
[Lucy] Yes, I will buy myself a queendom and then I’ll throw out the old queen and i’ll take over the whole operation myself. I will be head queen, and when I go out in my coach, all the people will wave at me…
[Linus]What happened to your queendom?
[Lucy]Huh?
[Linus]What happened to your queendom?
[Lucy]Oh, I gave it up. I have decided to devote my life to cultivating my natural beauty
