Just Not Fair
I read C4u's post about the mother trying to make something "fair" for her daughter. It reminded me of the other day at work when one of the myriad of screaming children who go through there every day started crying about how something "Just Wasn't Fair!" (and yes she did scream in capital letters). I just wanted to laugh and tell her to get used to it Princess. There is no Prince Charming on his white horse coming to rescue you. The drangons outnumber the Knights and the Evil Witches are more successul than the Good Witches. I hope somebody does tell her that she better learn to take care of herself and grab any opportunity that she can grab because nobody will take care of her as good as she can take care of herself.
That was when I realized just how bitter and jaded I was. When did I give up hope about Prince Charming coming to take me off into the sunset?
Oh yeah, when I finally realized that Mom was right and there are no fairy tales and life really isn't fair.

Vinnie doll, what happened? you sound even more bitter than normal... and you know coming from me that's a compliment.
Jaded much? Your prince will come Vinnie, just be patient.When he does come,give him a chance.
Actually Gumby I have always been this bitter, I just hide it behind a veneer of perkiness. . .
oh. then it must be ME who has become more bitter in the last week. I get so confused sometimes.
Don't change Gumby, we love ya just the way you are!
...here's Part II to the "t'aint fair" story: hubby was at the swim meet & all of the Stepfords went into a tizzy because he had the nerve to express horrified embarrassment at his wife fitting & gesturing over a 5 year old swim competition. Apparently in suburbia, even if you've behaving like an ass, Spousal Unit better not diss you to the neighbors...
And people wonder why I'm such a sarcastic cynic?? ;)
