Last night's story was "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". Everyone knows how this story went right? So Samantha asks me why Goldilocks went through the window and ran away when the Bear Family came back from their walk. Wasn't it rude for her to just run away? When I was a kid, I don't think I've ever questioned why Goldilocks ran away. So why did Goldilocks run away? Well, I said, cause she was rude - it really isn't simple to explain breaking and entering to a four year old you know. So that was that, until she came up with another question.....so, where does Goldilocks live? I honestly doooon't know! Really, where the heck does she live? Why is this little girl with golden curly hair walking around in the woods, going into somebody's house, eating their food, break their furniture and sleep on their bed. The minute they come back, she goes flying out of the house.
Ahhhhh - I never thought children's stories could be so complicated.
