But when I opened the door, I stood before you not in spiked shells, but in a pink dress and a sparkling crown. I adjusted the tiara with a flourish, a playful, proud grin spreading across my face. 'Well? I look absolutely fabulous, don't you think?' I said, striking a pose while you tried desperately to stifle the laugh bubbling up in your throat.
