Last night I went to my middle school's performance of Once Upon A Mattress! Now don't allow your mind to stray to the gutter before I explain. It's a bit of a parody of The Princess and the Pea. It's funnier, musical, and more in depth.
The main character, Princess Winnifred, AKA Fred, is desperate to marry Prince Dauntless, but his mother doesn't want him to marry. So the queen puts all eligible princesses through a test, and Fred's test is about sensitivity. The queen puts a pea under twenty goose down mattresses.
Of course you already know how the story goes (unless you either live under a large rock with no connection to the outside world, and in that case you wouldn't be reading this, OR you live in the wizarding world, and grew up with Beedle's tales such as Babbity Rabbity And Her Cackling Stump).
Fred feels the pea (and or jousting equipment), thus keeping her awake at night. She passes the test, and is able to marry Prince Dauntless.
Why am I telling you this, you ask? Well, one of my friends (who is following my b log, bless her soul (and my other followers)) JUST SO HAPPENS to be the STAR of the show! Shout out to Fred, you did a wonderful job, along with your cast mates!
This is the Last Hedgehog Whisperer signing off.
