10 Ways to Know Your Life is a Fairy Tale: because you can't always tell just by looking



10. Prince Charming rides to your rescue in a mini van

9. Your daily challenges involve the care and feeding of trolls and goblins

8. Fairy dust comes from cracker crumbs

7. Prince Charming looks better to you in shorts and a t-shirt than all dressed up.

6. There is a fairy godmother, and her name is GRANDMA.

5. When you look into the mirror and ask "who's the fairest of them all?" you see yourself.
(The mirror doesn't lie).

4. You sleep with the fire breathing dragon--and he looks a lot like Prince Charming.

3. About the 7 Dwarfs. They are your children and they magically switch between Bashful, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and visits to the Doc.

2. Prince Charming rescues you from things like yard work, laundry, and the occasional dressing of trolls.

1. It's not what you expected when you set out on the journey, but Happily Ever After describes it all pretty well.
