“Pizza anyone?” The waiter laid an extra-large, supreme pizza onto the table in front of the party of fifteen bouncing three-year-olds.
“Yay!” they chanted.
The pizza was loaded with mozzarella, provolone, and cheddar cheese. It had pepperoni, sausage, black olives, and mushrooms. The crust was crisp on the outside, but thick and soft in the middle.
The supervising parents placed a small slice onto a light blue plastic plate in front of each child, starting with the birthday girl. She took a bite and strings of cheese dangled from the corners of her mouth and on her chin. When she finished, she was a white and yellow whiskered princess. She held the leftover crust in her hand like a wand and, twirling around in her blue tutu and braided, blond wig, she sang, “Let it go! Let it go!” as her preschool friends sat in their chairs eating and kicking in delight.

It’s *that* song. Justifiable homicide.

That was wonderful! I think you captured a 3 year old girl perfectly. It reminded my of my nieces little girl.
