Fairy Tales

Hey! Feels like I haven't been here in awhile. It's probably only been a couple of days though. I hate how time passes by so fast and then so slow. I was reading my brother a story the other day and I guess I was over thinking because I thought "If you really think about it, fairy tales imply bad messages." Take Little Red Riding Hood for one. The wolf wants to eat little red and grannypants. Talk about violent!!!! And then there's the Three Little Pigs. The wolf blows down the houses. He could have very seriously injured the little pigs. Then he climbs down the chimney into some very hot water. He could have died!!!!!!!!! Then there's Cinderella. She has a fairy godmother come fix everything. It's implying that someday some ones just going to say the magic words and you'll be beautiful. There's another thing. You need beauty on the outside to be beautiful! This is the twenty first century people! There are real heros out there who are doing great things and some aren't very hot. Also there is Snow White. The Queen's servant is going to kill here! Do I even need to comment? Anyway, you probably won't be able to sleep at night because of me but whatever! Bye!

Oh great... now you've ruined all my favorite stories for me. You do have a point though....

I totally agree! Whenever I read them to Em, I always "edit" them because I don't want to scare her! We tried watching Cinderella with her and she was super freaked out by the cat! She was really scared of it. You are very insightful.

I love your blog!
