How Do You Mean?

Yesterday I was sitting at a dining room table next to the granddaughters of some friends. The 6 year-old looked over at me and said, in the most innocent, Disney-inspired voice,

"You should be locked up in a tower with lots of beautiful dresses. Oh, and they should take away your glasses."

Now, please take a moment to catch your breath if you're laughing. I was successful at keeping a straight face--barely!

In my brain, I was thinking:

-Does she think I would make a good candidate for Sleeping Beauty or Rapunzel?

-If I were locked up in a tower, would all of my bills magically disappear?

-If yes to the above question, how can I get someone to lock me up in a tower?

But then the comment about my glasses threw me off the fantasy train.
