While webcamming the other day with my daughter and my grandchildren I was given a lesson in British culture. My three year old granddaughter had performed a song for us and then took a bow. Afterward, she curtsied and asked me to do the same. Seems I needed a lesson because I didn't quite come up to standard for meeting the queen. Amelia explained in detail to me just how to properly bow my head, bend my knees, and hold my dress (or rather my T-shirt that morning) for a royal curtsy. I tried again and was praised with "Good job Nana". I suppose I will be practicing over the next month before their visit to the states so I will get it right when I next see the little princess in person. I hope I will meet her royal expectations!
