Do you have a pint-size princess bride twirling through your home? Delightful giggles bubble out as she waves from the top of the sofa—I mean, her horse-drawn carriage. Perhaps she shares with you all the magnificent details of her royal wedding. Savor these sweet imaginative moments. Because there's a fine crack between glass slippers and reality.
