when the cat's away, the mice will play

while the boys were off doing manly things, like sparking up fires from flint, and making tin foil dinners, the girls and i:

painted our nails pink,

pretended we were royalty,

...mermaid royalty,

taking turns kissing a handsome little prince,

and at the end of it all, putting our feet up, smothering our faces with mud and cucumbers, and calling it a day.
