Science & fairy tales

Just when we have managed to convince the world (by “we”, I mean me; and by “the world” I mean the three or four single females I go to school with who value the sister’s opinion or are too intimidated by the violence with which she treats the subject to protest) the truth in the claim that fairy tales were another concoction by the society [of men] to entrap the modern gal into sitting around waiting for a man whose liberating kiss would bring her back to the land of the living and with whom she’d live happily ever after; and before doing so much as “mAgeGem”ing from our indignance and refilling our temporarily consumptive “samba” with fresh air … along comes science “blazing it forth to the world” that there is more to fairy tales than mere fantastic works of imagination to lure otherwise insomnaic children to sleep!
