Dad: Alice! Look at you! Alice: It's my costume for our play! Miss Bliss says I'm Queen Alice the Volatile! We chose our costumes from the Dress-Up bin. I grabbed the crown before anybody else could!

I have had waitresses at pancake restaurants who certainly acted like royalty, perhaps they actually were.

I worked with a guy who had a car like that; IIRC, it was a “CitiCar”, all-electric, could hit 40 up the street, with a killer stereo. But yeah, it looked just like a phone booth (not quite a Tardis, too many windows).
