Life Is Like A Fairy Tale

---

This husband and I…

Went to Puss in Boots…no big surprise there…considering our sudden obsession with cats…a delightful movie…highlighting the importance of friendship…full of adventure…humor…and fairy tale characters…

This old gal…loves fairy tales…used them in the classroom…read them to those little girls of mine…collected all variations of the fractured fairy tale…when they were in vogue…so it wasn’t surprising…when during the days of Covid…students eating lunch in the classroom…teacher me suddenly became lunchroom lady me…for a delightful class…of kindergarteners…

Distributed trays…opened milks…clipped those yogurt packets…squirted ketchup…sanitized desks…kept chaos at bay…while trying to make lunchtime…fun…introduced…the fairy tale…many little ones…not familiar with the stories…were delighted to eat away…while watching an adorable collection of cartoon tales…on the smart board…

Lunch Lady Me…equally entertained…watching those beloved characters of her youth…come alive…but one character stood out…Lunch Lady Me thinking she’d seen him somewhere before…that wolf…Big and Bad…pestering those three little piggies…

His outfit…muscle shirt…slim pants…the walk a walk…but yet…a swagger…she’s seen this somewhere…somewhere recently…but not in a story…or maybe it was…in a story…this old gal’s story…this story they call life…and just like those three little piggies…with faith and perseverance…you can turn the big and bad…

Into your own personal…fairy tale…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
