Ripples,
In addition to the larger fairy tales - many childhood nursey ryhmes (spelling does not look right...) are actually horror stories that legend says were created to help children look at it with a different view point. Still mulling on whether that is a good thing or bad thing - just cannot wrap my mind around it but think it comes to the same point you make in Cinderella. But think about the ryhmes - Ring around a rosy - pocket full of posy - ashes - ashes - we all fall down...talking about the plague, signs of the disease, what was thought to ward it off - how they dealt with the bodies - how many died. Or Pied Piper is thought to be the story of a disease that struck children...and they made nursey ryhmes...
Watched an episode of the US TV show In Plain Sight last night (witness protection is the shows concept). The witness last night had one wish before he entered the program which was for them to track down his mother (prior to that in telling them his background he had noted he never felt he fit into his family and had left at 15 before they knew he was adopted). They did a good job on on what an adoptee goes through to find there family/roadblocks was fairly true to life - the mother used an alias, of course he was too late to meet her, she and his father (who he met) were childhood sweethearts whose family forced them to give up their son - they broke up because of it - got back together in later years...The discussions between the agents/lawyer etc at different points in the story were very well done, even to the point of talking about the primal wound theory, the naysayer about you won't like what you find / why open a can of worms per se / he has the right to know where he came from - well done for the amount of time they had...I gave them kudo's for it.
Kind regards,
Dickons
