- imagine me, as a child of Igbo immigrants, being found reading story-tales about blonde girls who work incredibly hard and end up marrying Prince Charming.

Pfft! Don't get me started on fairy tales! Those things screwed with the minds of women everywhere. For years I really believed that if I was only sweet and good and kind to animals (and pretty enough) I'd live happily ever after, somehow. As if.

I know! My teacher used to give me odd looks when I'd just go to sleep during story time whenever she read one of those and all the other girls would be like "Oooooooh!"

What my mother always did was give me her book of traditional Igbo tales which are hillarious/sadistic and most likely contributed to my warped sense of humour. I have much to be thankful for, though I have to be honest and say that I did try to be extra nice to lone toads... *hides*

Yeah, well...the kindness to animals part can never hurt, I suppose. I mean, you just never know, do you? ;-)
