The price of being a princess: a disturbing number of people took Fred’s letter seriously (including my mother!), so Fred posted this comment on my blog. Per request, I’ve recalled my flying monkey assassins. ********************************* You see, Alethea? I told you some people wouldn’t realize it was a joke.
