“Excuse me! The Princess Biker needs to pass!”

And pass, she did. In a blur, her Royal Highness zoomed by on a green bike clad in a long pink fairy princess dress as I differentially drifted to the right edge of the sidewalk to make way.

At the corner, she stopped, de-biked, turned the bike around, and pedaled toward me. N now noticed the purple sunglasses, glittery silver streamers trailing from the ends of her handlebars, and black lace-up boots.

“The Princess Biker is passing again!”

I slowed my stroll and deferentially stuck to the edge of the walkway, giving her the room I figured her rank deserved as she zipped past again.

Pedaling on, she disappointedly yells to herself, “No one ever stops and bows when the Princess Biker passes! People don’t know about ed-a-quit!”

I walked on, knowing to behave more reverently if I reencountered the Biker Princess on a future walk.

Princess Biker Wrap Up

This was a fine example of power play. She was playing a powerful character and displayed mastery over her bike as she zipped about so expertly on her powerful two-wheeled machine. Kids are drawn to power in their play because they have so little of it in their day-to-day lives.
