Just Right – #SoCS

everything in moderation.
warning: contents may be hot.
find your comfort zone.

not too big.

not too small.

goldilocks for grown-ups.

in one version,
the bears torture and eat her.
but we don’t read that to children.
let the tiny trespasser
trip off into what is
less
than
true.

the moral of the story?

it’s murky.

don’t spend so much time
looking
for
JUST
RIGHT?

try not to fall asleep
in a bear’s bed
after eating
ALL
ITS
FOOD?

stop breaking the hell into
OTHER
PEOPLE’S (bears?)
HOUSES?

Maybe there is no moral
After all, we’ve taken out
the
punishment
part

I guess you can do whatever you want

As long as it’s

medium.

Have Fun.

    1. Thank you! I LOVE my original Grimm’s collection with all the gory original details. Why have we whitewashed all of them?
