There are bench-warrants out for Hansel (defacing private property, theft and littering), Gretel (defacing private property, theft and littering, and Goldilocks (Breaking and entering, destruction of private property, theft). When they are caught, their arraignments will be on YouTube.
Today’s trivia, courtesy of Dr. Internet: “Some suggested that Cinderella (in Charles Perrault’s 1697 telling of the fairy tale) wore a fur shoe rather than a glass one, arguing that the French term verre (glass) was a mistranslation of the term vair (fur) and noting that fur slippers were highly valued in the past. But all aspects of dress in Perrault’s story were pointedly contemporary, and fur slippers were not in fashion at the end of the 17th century. Furthermore, when the slipper is place on Cinderella’s foot, it is proclaimed to fit as though it were made of wax — meaning it was absolutely form fitting. The rigidity and individual fit achievable through a bespoke (as it were) glass slipper moulded exactly to Cinderella’s foot would have confirmed her identity. A fur slipper would have had ‘give’ and would have fit any number of people.”
Meantime a frog identifying as a ‘Prince’ continues to prey upon unsuspecting women by soliciting ‘kisses’ (hint. hint. wink. wink.) with vague promises of happily ever after…
