cinderella revisited

Tonight my daughter made my day. Her mother was reading her "Cinderella" -- Evangeline's favorite story at the momenet -- and she objected to the story content. She didn't like the fact that Drizella, Anastasia and their mother were so mean to Cinderella, and wanted them to be nice instead.

That's good. She's starting to see how the way we behave toward other people can affect them, and that bad choices have bad consequences not only for ourselves but for other people.

Too cool, huh?

On the other hand, "There once was a girl named Cinderella who lived happily and then lived happily ever after" doesn't make much of a story.
