Fairy Tales

I always wonder whether my life will have a fairy tale ending.
But then, fairy tales do seem a bit silly. It is like sifting through life, separating the good from bad and compressing it to somehow get through to the happy ending.
But how many fairy tales we know have actually ended? Just look at all of them - and they 'live' happily ever after. Now, that means that fairy tales end the moment life begins!
That's a crazy thought really, but a point to ponder nevertheless. Maybe that's why fairy tales bear absolutely no relevance to reality, because they end before the beginning.

Just imagine, how many frogs would you actually like to kiss until you find your prince charming? And what if you realise in between that you, in fact, are the frog and should wait for some airhead prince charming to come and kiss you instead( he would have to be a complete idiot to actually want to kiss a frog when he already has hundreds of prospective princesses falling over to kiss him)!

But what if your wildest dreams come true? What if you wake up some day and find that the guy you have been dreaming of secretly for the past few months has actually decided to ask you out?
What if he picks you as his dream lady out of the many women swooning for his attention?
What would you like to call it? Wishful thinking or a fairytale?

I'd settle for a fairy tale. Why? Just because it sounds more romantic... ;D
But until it actually happens, it is just wishful thinking.
