I was thinking about the story of Cinderella yesterday. Having a young daughter, you tend to do things like that even if you don’t want to. The story is pretty clear. Girl with a bad start on life meets and falls in love with the handsome Prince Charming before living happily ever after. I accept that Cinderella was Miss Right as far as the Prince was concerned what what about Miss Right Now?

It’s the Prince’s ball, lots of girls looking for the affections of the Prince. What happened after midnight? Midnight is still early after all.

Here’s what I’m thinking. Cinderella splits on poor Prince Charming who thought he was taking it quite slow. Not sure what had just happened the young prince returns to his party where he meets a couple of very affectionate  ladies. Hooks up. Has a dirty night of wet, sloppy sex with both the girls before waking up with a hangover facing the reality that he shouldn’t have random nights of sex with strangers and, more importantly, those two girls are much uglier then they were at 3 in the morning! The prince then searches out Cinderella, marries and never speaks of his escapades in the early hours.

Just a thought.

While you ponder that enjoy Lily Allen’s song 22 about searching for Prince Charming.
