Now this is what I call "American Girl" attitude!

Once upon a time


in a land far away,

a beautiful, independent,
self-assured princess


happened upon a frog as she sat
contemplating ecological issues
on the shores of an unpolluted pond
in a verdant meadow near her castle.


The frog hopped into the princess' lap
and said: " Elegant Lady,
I was once a handsome prince,
until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.


One kiss from you, however,
and I will turn back
into the dapper, young prince that I am


and then, my sweet, we can marry


and set up housekeeping in your castle

with my mother,


where you can prepare my meals,

clean my clothes, bear my children,


and forever feel

grateful and happy doing so. "

That night,

as the princess dined sumptuously


on lightly sauteed frog legs


seasoned in a white wine


and onion cream sauce,


she chuckled and thought to herself:


I don't freakin think so. [img]graemlins/rainbow.gif[/img]

LOL! If you like that, you'd love "Politically Correct Bedtime Stories" by James Garner. It's out of print but you can still get it through Amazon.

That is cool on so many levels!

If you do get Politically Correct Bedtime Stories as auri suggested and if you like it, he also wrote a sequel (Once Upon a More Enlightened Time, I believe) and "Politically Correct Holiday stories. I thought they were all fun, light reads and I've noticed that they turn up pretty cheaply at a lot of thrift stores and used books stores.

Hee hee. That sounds like something my mom would write! I remember her saying when I was a little girl: "Genevieve, no matter what TV tells you, getting married does not make you your husband's janitor and cook. So make sure you get it in a prenup that all housework and child care responsibilities are split evenly."
