Isn't that the one where they cut their toes off to fit in the shoes?
Yep -- one stepsister cuts off a toe, and the other cuts off a bit of her heel.
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They eat a duck. (Or possibly it was a goose?)
Maybe it was a duck. Maybe it was a goose. Definitely it was their father.
I can't find where I stashed all my AA batteries. I'm one damned battery short of a functioning Swiffer WetJet.

Fridge?

No, but next time I complain that I've lost my unused film, fridge is the correct answer.
Okay, off to next cupboard.
I never should have wanted to clean my floors.

Aha! In a ziploc bag in that bedside table in my living room. I should consolidate them with the AAAs I found in the search, but not the camera batteries.

The Disneyfication of children's stories could be to blame. But I wonder if morbid children's stories are just less necessary now that childhood mortality rates are so much lower than they were in the 1800s....
I've always found it so remarkable and fascinating that kids still sing Ring Around the Rosie some 700 years after the plague.

Grimm's Grimmest--that's the one. Need to get another copy sometime.

Unfortunately, it's not really about the plague. Or that old.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Now I'm trying remember which fairy tale it was that had the wicked stepmother being forced to dance at the heroine's wedding in red-hot shoes. Cheery stuff, indeed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am now trying to see if I can wait out my boss. Just when I haven't heard from her in a few minutes, and I think it's safe to leave, I get a phone call and/or email. See, I don't think she thinks I'm a hard worker (she'd be right, of course), so I'm trying to work later. God knows I'm not going to get in any earlier....
