Theyve been lying from the start. From the first time we read the words once upon a time, were fed the idea that these girlsthese gorgeous, demure, singing-with-the-wildlife girlsget a happy ending. And I get it. Poor thing had to do some chores around the house, fine. But the idea that she needs a magic old lady to come down and skim off the dirt so the prince will see her beauty? Thats ridiculous. Maybe she should have been working on her lockpicking skills instead of serenading squirrels. She could have busted out, hitched a ride to the castle, and impressed the prince with her safe-cracking prowess. Sorry, magic-fairy lady. She didnt need your help.
