10 Reasons No One Wants To Be A Fairy Tale Princess

[meganbmoore]

1. You probably have at least one dead parent. Maybe two.
2. You’re always falling into a coma.
3. Your husband has the exact same name as every other princess’s husband.
4. You have an evil step-parent. Possibly evil step-siblings, too.
5. Your boyfriend falls in love with you in five seconds because you’re pretty. He doesn’t care if you went to Yale and graduated at the top of your class or if you think 2 + 2 = 7. He also doesn’t care if you help old ladies across the street, or like to kick them in the shin and steal their canes. As long as you’re pretty.
6. All the other girls hate you because you’re pretty and the cute guy likes you. (Welcome to high school. And fandom.)
7. All your friends are dwarves or talking animals.
8. Curses. Somebody is always cursing you. And it’s always because you’re pretty, or because your daddy forgot to invite them to a party. They never do it because of anything you’ve done.
9. There’s only ever one good looking, age appropriate guy around. Sure, he’s the prince, but wouldn’t a choice of some sort be nice?
10. Really, you shouldn’t worry about #5, because all you really have to do is clean, dance, and look pretty when the prince comes to rescue you. You don’t need a brain or much personality anyway.
