Likeness

This morning, the King told Snow White, "You know, you look a little like your Uncle R."

She looked at me sideways, not really sure how to take that. Does any girl really want to look like her bearded uncle?

"He means," I tried to explain, "that you have some of the same features as your uncle. You actually look a bit like my mom's side of the family. You sort of look like Grandma D."

"I do? When?" she inquired of Dad.

"I don't know," he thought, "maybe when you're asleep."

"But, Grandma D snores when she's asleep!"
