#freewriting - Prince Charming.

"Some people love to be in the limelight, I hate it.
I do not feel the need to be at the center of public attention, to show up at parties, shake hands and socialize", he said. "I feel uncomfortable in between people".

"You could start losing some weight, dress better and take some lessons in drama plus we will find you someone who is able to charm people, so nobody will notice how stupid you really are", his mom said.

His father nodded.
It was not clear if he agreed with his wife. From the moment on she held the scepter, he became more and more depressed. His presence was just keeping up appearances. He was drugged and looked like a fool. Even the son was too stupid to see what was going on. The son never questioned anything.

Losing weight was not really his kind of sport.
To be honest he didn't care at all what he looked like. A few times a day he was told what to wear. Still he always looked as if he was wearing the suit of a guy 4 seizes smaller, his pig like face did the rest.

"It is not my fault", he said as his mother asked him how come he was not able to dress more stylish.

She knew it would be hard to find him a bride.
There were no dumb princesses in the country next door, nor the rest of the world, left over. The ordinary girls did not show any interest. They were way too smart. Afterall his knowledge did not go beyond drinking beer and driving too fast.
She decided to ask Google its help. For sure there were plenty of third world girls willing to marry "prince charming". It was true she could not modelling him, but she could do so with any abandoned girl in need.
