Remember the story of The Princess and the Pea?
In case you don’t know or remember the story, it’s about a Prince who wants to marry a “true princess.” One night a girl shows up at the castle door claiming to be just that, so the queen sets up a test to determine her princessability—or something like that.
At any rate, the test consists of placing a pea below multiple layers of mattresses and bedding. In the morning the girl complained “I scarcely closed my eyes all night. Heaven only knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something, and now I am black and blue all over my body. It was horrible!” And since only a true princess could have such delicate skin as to feel a pea through forty layers of bedding, they were married.
I'm not sure if it’s of any significance, but I woke up this morning lying directly on top of my television remote. And while I'm glad the TV didn't turn on during the middle of the night, I think this incident calls my princess qualifications into serious question...

My daughter peed in my bed the other night and I woke up. Does that mean I'm a princess?
You are one funny female.
Ever fall asleep on a pile of change and wake to have it stuck to your leg? The first time your hand brushes over the coins you swear some parasite crawled into bed and encysted it's young into your flesh. . .
Ever fall asleep on a pile of parasites? It feels like a bunch of pennies, dimes and quarters stuck to your leg.
I once woke up with my umm partial teeth thing underneath me.. I still cannot figure out how that got out of my mouth and onto the bed..
Must be princess stuff that I don't know about:)
