Fairies wear pink, fairies have wings (sometimes made from cloth, sometimes made from paper, sometimes made from shiny plastic), fairies talk in a high pitched american accent and fairies do ballet.
This is according to the 4 year old, and must be taken as gospel as she is the expert on fairies in our house.
On a good day, it's extremely cute. Not on a good day, it's the sort of thing that holds you to ransom. What plate? The fairy plate. What cake? The fairy cake. What would you like to chat about? Let's chat about fairies. What story should we read? The fairy book? Twinkle twinkle little...? Fairy!
The key to being a real fairy is to have the right gear. As well as wings, the key outfit requirements are a pretty dress, a crown and a wand. All very beautiful, except totally impractical. Chaos ensues when the fairy gets stuck up a tree or her skirt caught around the wheel of the bike at the same time as the 2 year old runs off with the wand and turns it into a weapon of mass destruction.
When she grows up, Miss 4 would like to *be* a fairy. I've tried to point out it's not much of a career, so we're "working on a compromise"... which means I'm trying to convince her that a Fairy Doctor would be good. It's not working, but at least I can say I tried.
"Duh duh duh, Fairy NEWS on Fairy FM.. mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm.. Fairy Weather... mm mm mmm mmm. Now it's time for your first Fairy Hit, on Fairy FM, all fairies, all the time, Fly along with us, right here on Fairy. F. M, fairy, fairy, fairy."
