The Title Comes Last

Today reminded me how much I like working with kids. I got to do storytime and it went really well. I felt a wee bit rusty and nervous.

It also reminded me of Snow White. Not because of the storytime but because of lunch. I had an apple with it. I had been reading a number of short stories based on traditional tales. I had been telling one of my staff about it and she didn't recognize any of the stories not based on Disney films. So I had gotten a book of some of the original Grimm tales.

It was cool to go through and see how things had been changed from the original. Did you know that it wasn't a kiss that woke up Snow White? They dropped her coffin and the jolt knocked the apple lose.

Hence my reminder... : P

Good day and someday my prince will drop my coffin... just doesn't have that same ring to it : )

Kids are fun. I'm more of a fan of the 14-18 year old ones. I'm weird. Guess it's good that someone likes them.

Grimm is not for children, is it?
