At least Snow White was considerate enough not to eat all of one dwarf's meal and break a chair.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097525403940409218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968132365438511409.post-20477877357545023382016-01-19T07:25:32.196-06:002016-01-19T07:25:32.196-06:00Honestly, Goldilocks was never that sympathetic no...Honestly, Goldilocks was never that sympathetic nor all that interesting. She's just a little girl who doesn't understand boundaries. Now talking bears who cook breakfast and use furniture, that's really something!Adam Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129844426168129584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968132365438511409.post-19122991668753376222016-01-18T16:37:58.910-06:002016-01-18T16:37:58.910-06:00Thanks for the interesting post!

Well, I've always read it as "The Three Bears" or "Goldilocks And The Three Bears" and personally, my sympathy has always been with the bears - how would WE feel if we came home and found our breakfast had been sampled, the furniture broken and the intruder still asleep in one of the family beds? I might or might not call to cops, but I'd certainly make sure the silverware was in place!
