A Real Parent's Story
My 3-year-old met Cinderella and forgot how to speak
“When Cinderella knelt and said 'hello, princess,' my daughter stared silently and burst into tears. The best kind of tears.”

I'd prepped her for weeks. The moment we walked in, Cinderella was right there. My daughter - who never stops talking - was completely silent. Tears streamed. Cinderella held her hand and said 'sometimes princesses don't need words.'
