Owing to a minor plumbing disaster in the castle, which was NO fault of the Prissy Princess's, today's blog will be somewhat shorter than usual. If it were on paper, it would also be somewhat soggier.
On the eve of the Hero's final exam, the Princess did not wish to bother him with such a small problem as a toilet that would not stop running. He is continually encouraging her to try to figure things out herself instead of always relying on other people to do things, and so she decided to take his advice.
It turns out that when the Hero says the Princess should try to figure things out herself, he is not talking about fixing the toilet. Apparently he is thinking of less destructive pursuits, such as how to upload photos to her blog. (And no, if you're wondering, there will not be any pictures of the plumbing disaster.)
She says how was she supposed to know that there was a geyser hidden in the depths of the tank, just waiting for the right victim to come along and unleash its power all over the Princess and the contents of their tiny bathroom?
This experience has, however, brought the Princess closer to God, as she now prays fervently each time she even thinks about using the toilet. She prays that it might not erupt like Old Faithful and that it might stop at its intended boundaries and not keep on running until the Lord returns.
In the end, the Hero -- although at first clearly annoyed at the Princess's clumsy interventions -- did tell her that he was proud of her for trying to fix the situation by herself. He also warned her to never, ever try it again.
