How many little girls grow up thinking they can have a perfect life? Many. Starting with the Disney books being read by parents where the prince is heroic and gorgeous and "earns" the beautiful princess. Then there are the Disney movies, barbie marriages, and playing "house." Big expectations from a very early age.
When are those expectations dashed? For a very few, never. For me? Probably third grade. There was this boy. He was older and well..it didn't work out. That's okay though because he was a bit of a jerk. This isn't to say I have no hope in mankind. Not true at all. I just don't expect a knight in shining armor. Until this week, I didn't even realize that there are guys who still hold doors and walk you to your car (a conversation my dad and I had).
I'm currently watching Pride and Prejudice. So good. It's the ultimate girls fantasy. Speaking of movies, I saw the Invention of Lying today. It was a lot better than I expected. Ricky Gervais is great as usual. I also poked Richard in the eye by mistake, but that's okay. I thought it was hilarious.
