A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words (Or, Exactly Fifty): A Pea Pod Can Tell You About Yourself...

What I see: a princess of African descent in a silver tiara and green dress, looking with drooping eyes in the light of dawn at a pea pod in a room full of bedding and with apples and grapes (or smaller apples or green plums) all around.
What I feel: As a Black woman, I know exactly my response if I am a royal, and somebody put me through finding that peapod -- the history of Queens Amanirenas, Nzinga, and Nandi says THAT AIN'T WHAT YOU WANT!
“Well I'll be! You really are a princess! With all the apples and grapes I put in the bedding, you still found the pea pod!”
“And you really are a frog, having put me through all that! Be gone, wretch, and on pain of death, never appear in Gondwanaland again!”
Ancestral whispers,
Strength woven through history,
Dreams bloom like roses.
Hehe, I love the command in her tone.
As I know you know, an African queen takes NO FOOLERY!
Hehe, that's right. African ladies turn mothers are superb. Hehe, you don't mess with them.
I could relate the tone to that of queens in those days, how blissfyl❤
Thank you -- glad you enjoyed it -- you know our African queens are not having foolishness!
That's very true😀😀
A lovely tiny peapod tale 😍
Thank you for sharing this great entry. 👍
You're welcome!
"And you really are a frog."
The princess' answer was excellent. 😁
I laughed so hard, writing that -- glad you enjoyed it!
