I know God gives us stories about arks and plaques and whales so that we can understand the way the world works, I get that, true or not I get it.
But me I never got down with the idea of fairy tales, I just thought there were better ways of giving my kids hope, other than frogs turning into princes and pumpkins into carriages, but the more times I spend in this gig walking the same path, watching them grow up the more I see why we all need that happy ending, that rainbow waiting for you in the end, especially because of all that scary stuff that comes up after once upon a time, we need to know there's going to be a happily ever after, that once that fairy godmother or handsome prince comes along all that suffering and hardship will disappear, that if we do get to that rainbow at the end we might just forget how much it took to get there, but the getting there is a whole different fairy tale.
