The cardboard knight . . .

I found my knight in shining armor, and he rescued this damsel in distress. We married and then produced this . . .



I think there was a kink in the genes somewhere . . .


But - they say there could be someone out there for everyone, so there could be a simple cardboard damsel dreaming of this guy coming to rescue her . . . you just never know.
