“…life with the royl rugrats…” You’re not seriously telling your child that children are nothing but a burden, are you, Val?

So, Cinderella enjoyed her career until she noticed there was something missing and with no children and in her old age, she died an old, unfulfilled spinster regretting the one chance in life she had to be with the one person who loved her enough to look all over the kingdom to find her. The one person who accepted her for who she was.

Too late to change, but it’s mothers-in-law, and she was never Princess Di. She was Dina, Princess of Wales. Pay attention to details, please!
