There once lived a wounded prince and a helpful princess. Who always did as she was told. Always. As all princesses should.
And the moral of this story? If someone offers to help you, graciously accept. You’ll both get a better night’s sleep because of it.

Pati
OMG…I can’t stop laughing..My family is staring at me!
Ok Karen my husband would NOT be as nice as your guy! I don’t get it….how did he not swear at you??
anyways…LOVE IT…and you are crazy!
Stefanie
Hilarious! Makes me want to go wake my prince!
Marti
Are you going to start using “The Royal We” in your blog posts now?
Karen
Marti – Omg, that’s brilliant. Yes. Yes, I really should. ~ karen
Marti
“We.” As in “Yes. Yes, We immediately shall.”
(The stilted verb choices add a lot, too.)
Karen
Sorry. Yes. We knew what you meant. We should have made it clearer in our previous reply. ~ us.
Sheila B
“The Royal We.” That’s GREAT!
trinity
I laughed so hard!! You are really crazy. You told us you where but we never really believed you. Til now. And what a polite Fella.
Then I had to watch again to admire your Rough Linens……beautiful….
Lindey R.
How did that not included cursing? Because, if that happened in our house, there would be cursing. Lots and lots of cursing.
Pati
OMG !!! MY husband would have KILLED me ! I love it,Karen…do it again….and again….and still again ! ROTFLMBO !!! I am expecting a sequel…just so you know…
BGrigg
You are EVIL!
Funny as hell, but evil!
Diane
I have a very nice fella too. And white linens. So I get the need for the band-aid.
I might have tried it, but I am sure the f bomb would have been heard on my third try. Such a brave woman you are. And a bit mad.
deanna
You really do have a Prince. And, yes, it is a whole lot more fun when you’re the one with the camera!
Kathy
He is a true Canadian! He said “Please” every single time he asked you to stop. Amazing! My husband, also a Canadian, would have killed me if I had done that even once. You guys are hilarious.
Joann Hanmer
That’ll teach him !!
Princes should be careful what they ask for….snigger ;o)
PS: I admire your persistence
lori
thanks, for the great laugh!!
I have to agree with lindey r. He was so polite! please go away…. my would of said #@@(((#. i would have had to Bleep and bleep and bleep.
Robyn
Nothing like a good laugh and it’s great to see he took it all in jest.
Peggy
Awww…poor guy! He was literally begging you to stop and in such a nice way. I’m an absolute bear if someone disturbs my sleep. Count yourself lucky, LOL!
Jen
Did you edit out the bad language? Surely there was bad language involved….or is he just that polite??!! Looks like you’re a Barbara Kingsolver fan…..Animal, Vegetable Miracle? I loved that book. And I think I also spotted The Bean Tree’s…
Angela
You may owe me a laptop because I laughed so hard I spit my coffee out all over the screen & keyboard! Plus I almost choked to death!!! That was beyond hysterical Karen. He’s a really good sport. What did he say in the morning when you got up? I can’t imagine him just dropping it. Or you either! LOL!
Anyhow, thanks for starting my day with a laugh & a smille You always do!
Girlwiththeskew-earring
Bwahahahahaha… you are Evil, but I love it!!!!!
Cindy Marlow
The man in my house, being a veteran and probably having a little PTSD, would have taken my head off! I can’t believe how patient the Fella is and what a cherished Princess you must be. The two of you deserve your own reality show!
Sue
Explain to me why you are not on tv? You are so hilarious, and so is the fella…..
sue
I think you are not the princess, but rather, the evil witch. Sorry.
Alison
If that was my prince being offered help I’m pretty sure this princess would have some serious video editing of all the f-bombs the prince would have dropped.
Thank you for my morning chuckle!
Holly
Ok, so I watched it again and counted 16 “Pleases” and 17 “Go aways!”. You ain’t right!!!
Christine Durst
Hahaha… revenge is sweet he sayeth
Emie
OMGness….. I’m not sure but I think he must have said “Please” about 50+ times!!! My DH would have replace that with a 4 letter word. VBG
Gloria
And you wonder why the fella father is so grumpy…..maybe the queen did the same thing…..this is so funny!!!!
marilyn
wow the fella is sooo polite! i wanted to come down the hill and pound you for him..
paula
Hahaha! OMG, I have tears, that was soooo funny. Would not have gone over that well in my house. I’m with other commenters who say there would be a ton of swearing. Your fella sure is patient. hahaha.
Amy Schmucker
My prince would have given me the finger all right… what a sweetheart you have. Tell the fella he gets extra points for using “Please” 29 times.
Amy in Florida
Susan
I can’t believe he didn’t curse vividly at you! That poor bugger… And he gets up and goes to work in the morning… Meanwhile the princess sleeps soundly! OMG! You are soooo lucky to be alive! Must be the royal blood! Hilarious!
Becca
Hilarious. Absolutely. But. One might wonder why the Prince needed a bandaid on a wee wound that was no longer bleeding. One might suspect that the Princess enjoys pulling the bandaid off when it’s no longer needed. One might advise that it’s much more satisfying to rip the gluey fabric off of flesh that has more hairs than a wee finger.
Langela
I’m with everyone else.You have one polite fella there. I can’t believe there was no cussing involved!
Kim
I don’t think you could ever complain about the Fella ( not that you do ) but he has a huge crowd of new fans now. What a really nice guy he is. BTW, when do you sleep?!
Dana Niemeier
For the love of everything sacred. No caffiene for you after 4pm. Sedatives-Yes. Maybe you are part kitten–taunting people in the middle of the night! LOL!
Jane
I have never seen a dude with so many sweet tattoos be so polite!
<3 that was cute!
Nicole2
The Fella is being super polite because he never lets his guards down with Karen, even at 2 in the morning. He knows that if she is filming him, Karen is diabolical enough to put it on the blog, so that’s why there are no F sharps, lol!
Nicole2
Oh, I work at an animal shelter and we have a fundraiser motorcycle ride. You should see these big tattooed bikers come in after the ride to look at the kittens and they melt like a little girl. Appearances ARE deceiving.
Thera
I too, was waiting for the cussing to begin, kudos to the fella, but damn that was hilarious!!!
Norma
At the risk of being the disenting voice – I was very uncomfortable watching that. I think you need to apologize to him.
Annio
I agree. I didn’t find that funny; I found it exploitative and unkind. I think “the fella” deserves better and agree you should apologize.
Karen
I sense you’re new around here. I also sense this is not the right place for you. – karen
Nicole2
Love it, Karen!
Langela
I sensed the same thing. Too funny!
kathryn
i sense sensitive sensibilities; incensing!!!
AmieM
This is hilarious!
When you pull back the covers, and when he rolls around, I can’t help but think “At least he doesn’t sleep naked!”
He was very cute. Shush, stop it, please go away. please stop. please please.
kathryn
“at least he doesn’t sleep naked”??? i would suggest you need some help with what you’re thinking. as does the far-too-highly-clothed fella. please.
Violet
This is a clear-cut case of it being the Prince’s fault. If he had just let the Princess put the bandaid on the FIRST time, this all could have been avoided. (Well, all except for the first time. But as with bandaids themselves, when faced with something unpleasant — like having a spotlight shined in your face in the middle of the night — it’s best to just grit your teeth and let let the crazy-ass Princess pull it off in one swift fell swoop.)
taria
you guys are pretty funny. payback is a bitch.
coralie
My thoughts exactly!
ruth
I would have totally killed you.
Brenda j
TEARS!! I cried tears.
christine hilton
Are you safe to sleep now?If I were the fella I would be taking back your Christmas presents!
Jules
utterly hilarious.. My husband would not have lasted even thru the first time nevermind multiple returns! therapy or not- he would divorce me- I don’t mess with my mans sleep- ever! you are awesome..
and your fella is the most patient man on the planet..
Alicia Herron
I was so nervous watching that. I was sure he was going to flip over yielding a knife… or a rabid animal… or the It’s a Small world song to set loose on you. I was sure something awful happened. I’m glad that didn’t happen. I’m also glad he got revenge because it wouldn’t have been fair without it.
I… like you… have a tendency to take something too far when I should have stopped. like wrestling with my husband, I kicked over the bedside table lamp and broke one of our picture frames. He’s ticklish and strong which is a bad combo. I got tossed starboard side off the bed. Whoops!
Mary
You were one on those mean girls . . . weren’t you?
Lui
I would have put some pepper on the wound!
Barbie
In reference to the couple of people who thought you should apologize, clearly some have their “own” marital or relationship rules…..I say to them….stay on your own side of the street and leave others out of “your” business, perhaps you shouldn’t have watched then. LOL I laughed so hard since I would TOTALLY do this! If you have a bear then you don’t “poke” it….if you have a teddy bear….you can poke all you want…..and they sometimes even poke back….as Karen’s did…
I LOVED it Karen….more please!
Gayla T
You guys are going to be on the 6 o’clock news. The neighbors are going to be interviewed saying that he seemed like a nice guy, He acted like he loved her no matter how many times she wanted to change the plants in the yard. I just can’t imagine what made him snap and kill her! Then the reporters will find the Princess’ blog and they will understand and only wonder how he was able to be with her 44 years. Dear Princess, REPENT of your evil ways while there is still time. Or not. Lots more entertaining for us if you don’t and I’ll be planted many years before you so only your young readers will be left to mourn your passing. They will gather beside your grave and say in hushed tones. She should have put the bandaid back in the box. The old reporter will only nod as a tear trickles down his cheek. (I’m sending this to Stephen King)
Paulina J!
Ha Ha! I love his revenge! I don’t think you should have cut the video so short. I have a feeling there is more to this story. And I also have a feeling YOU cussed.
Angie
He sure says please a LOT for someone being harrased in the middle of the night. Good manners, Fella! Well done sir!
Cindy
Like a few others, I did not find this funny. That being said, I do enjoy your blog, and read it daily. Is it a requirement for reading this blog to like everything? Is the comment section for feedback from your fans or just positive comments?
Karen
Cindy – Yes. Now go away. ~ karen
Lynne Knowlton
K, just pee’d my pants a little laughing at that one.
Lynne Knowlton
In the words of Dr. Seuss himself…:-))))….
“We are all a little weird, and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose Weirdness is compatible with ours, We join up with them and fall in Mutual weirdness and call it LOVE.
Hahaha…too funny. Keep laughing and having some weird ass fun .
Karen
Hah! By the way … I went to your site yesterday and saw the “professional” pics of your house. Beautiful. I highly suggest people go look at it. VERY nice. Didn’t have time to leave a comment. I was probably bothering a family member at the time or something. ~ karen
Lynne Knowlton
Ahhh shucks thanks Karen !!!!! You make me laugh out loud all the time.
You are my all time favourite blogger and I gotta confess…my blog mentor…
Look you have a title!! Princess Blog Mentor…
Humbly,
Your blog goddess follower. haha. Do you like how I called myself a goddess ? xx
Laura
I am at work (on lunch thank goodness) and cannot stop laughing! That was priceless! I hope that the fella appreciates just how helpful you are!! Love it!
carolmcc
ha! you are one sick girl.
Annie
I suspect this isn’t the Prince’s first foray into “Life With The Princess and Camera” and he’s still around. Lighten up, folks.
mimiindublin
oh my GOD he’s so polite! I’d kill you, slowly, for doing that!
Love him!
BTW, would love his views (sometime) on good customer service!
mimiindublin
but NOT BY ASKING QUESTIONS IN MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!!
Karen
Mimi – You’re no fun at ALL. ~ karen
janey
lmao! hes adorable when he’s all sleepy-cranky!!! this was great thanks for sharing.
Amy in StL
OMG, how in the world did you keep a serious voice/face? You’re so earnestly helpful. This was so hilarious – really even more so due to your reaction at the 4:30am wake up!
Fella
Readers,
I’m glad that you were all entertained by Karen’s midnight mischief but I wish you people would stop encouraging her. Luckily no one was injured in the making of this video and I did approve it prior to it being posted, this time. No one’s safety and or manners can be guaranteed if this happens again.
Amused after the fact Fella
Laura
Something makes me think that our encouragement is not needed to keep Karen going!
Violet
I dunno … if this many people were drooling over how darn cute and polite and adorable I was, I’d quit my day job and command my Princess to annoy me on video 24 hours a day.
Sheila B
Can’t catch my breath! Laughing too hard! I’m a bit relieved as I thought only my husband was like that at night. But Fella was quite kind, actually. I probably would been popped upside the head on the 3rd attempt. LOL! Karen, you better look out. Unless he really, really is that nice….
Susan
I don’t blame you! You poor sucker! She is like a bad smell she keeps coming back! Or a hangnail you keep trying to bite off! So we won’t encourage her… too much! But you have to admit you are one polite bugger! You even said please! I am still laughing! What would happen to him Karen if you dripped cold water on his hand….oh never mind you’d have to wash the sheets!
Jen
karen…..please remove the comment by Gayle T. Please.
Karen
LOL. Are you suspicious? She’s just joking. She’s a funny lady. ~ k!
Larita
Doesn’t seem any point in commenting since everybody else already said what I was going to. That was almost painful to watch, though I giggled through most of it. Can’t believe how polite he is with all the “please”. How did he not clobber you by the second or third time?
Karen
Larita – Don’t worry. He beats me during the day. ~ karen
Lanie Fox
did you know this post would be controversial? i was surprised!
Karen
LOL. Nope. Didn’t see that coming. It’s interesting that other people think they know what’s best for me, my blog and my relationship. I’d say this video is proof of the great relationship between the fella and I. Not the other way around! It’s kind of cute people are so concerned about the fella. ~ karen
Marti
Dear Fella.
Well. She did say you were a Prince, didn’t she?
Rachel
Hearing the Fella’s ACTUAL voice and seeing words that he ACTUALLY typed is like a bumping into the Polka Roo without the head portion of his costume. You’re excited to finally see him, but the mystique is shattered!
Karen
Rachel – Funny! Love Polka Roo. The Fella’s been on the blog a fair amount. He’s in a few videos and there’ve been many pics. The Opening a Wine Bottle video is the first that comes to mind. ~ karen!
Sondra
So funny! I agree with the others, I can’t believe how polite he is. I certainly wouldn’t be that polite. I also love your reply that this shows what a great relationship you and the fella have. Love it! Did I spy a Stephanie Plum book? Love that series, can’t wait for the movie to come out in 2 weeks! Love your blog, love you. Keep on keepin’ on.
Karen
Really? There’s a movie? LOL. I had no idea a movie was coming out. I’ve read them all up until the most recent. At this point, I’m pretty sure I could write a Stephanie Plum novel myself if I had to! ~ karen
Sondra
I could definitely see you writing books similar to Stephanie Plum. What I love best about the series is that I laugh out loud while reading it. And I do the same thing with your blog (that’s a compliment). I would totally read your books!
Libby
It was his fault for asking you to apply the bandage, and I would have done the exact same thing as you (with similiar results). Actually, these sorts of shenanigans happen at our house all the time, as my fella will be the first to tell you.
susan w
Fella has some seriously nice nails. Either they are extremely healthy (CrossFit can’t improve fingernails, can it?) or very well maintained (they even look buffed – not buff – but buffed ).
Shiny
Shauna
OMG! My husband would kill (if he were even sleeping at that time), there would be no end of screaming profanities in my direction and pillow throwing to try to break the bright light. Your fella is the most polite ol’ gentleman I’ve ever seen. That was hilarious. I imagine with every please, he was plotting his revenge for two hours later;)
Karen
Shauna – He swears more at the breakfast table over not being able to find the maple syrup right in front of him. Maple syrup seems to bring out the swearer in him. ~ karen
Anemone
Go away with your flash…BAHAHAHAHAH…that’s too funny…
Nancy
Oh Karen..I think I would be locking up your camera at night..you bad..LOL…Sorry I am very late tonight..
Karen
Nancy – You’re so late, that in another 20 minutes you’re gonna have another one to read! ~ karen
Nancy
YEA!!!!! Now you let that poor sweet man sleep tonight!!
Patricia
Wow! He was so polite. My husband always wakes up like Bruce Lee — he actually holds his hands up “karate” style and mumbles some unknown threat. Hee hee
dana
At 2:53, sound of tearing bandaid wrapper made me laugh out loud! That wound needed tending to. I’m sure even Florence freaking Nightingale got kicked in the crotch a few times whilst ministering to the injured. I think HRH is hilarious!
Karen
Dana – I was wondering if anyone would hear that! ~ karen
Sherri
Even in his slumber stupor your fella knew what was best for a wound in the thick of the night. It needed a chance to breathe and will heal faster now. Bandage during the day and take it off at night. He’s one smart fella!
Karen
Sherri – He’s the one who told me to put the Bandaid on! ~ karen
Dana
you are too funny – “…so you don’t want me to fix your finger?”
Dru
omg. we love y’all.
Erica Filpi
The poor Fella.
Ya know I was expecting a British accent.
