A Real Fairy Tale

Here is the fairy tale little girls should be told:

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 once was 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 forver 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 FUCKIN THINK SO.

(I can't claim credit to this..i got it in an email, but it was soooo good i had to share)
