For Anne

And maybe for Best Namma Ever! too. But she doesn't read this, so maybe not. Ok, whatever. But you ladies out there -- single, happily married, not and/or somewhere in-between -- might like this. It's only Urban Dad's fabulousness that keeps me from reading this to the Urban Kids every night at bedtime......


THE WORLD'S SHORTEST FAIRY TALE

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl "Will you marry me?" The girl said: "NO!" And the girl lived happily ever-after and went shopping, dancing, drank martinis, always had a clean house, never had to cook, did whatever the hell she wanted, never argued, didn't get fat, traveled more, had many lovers, and had all the hot water and closet space to herself. She went to the theater, never watched sports, never wore friggin' lacy lingerie that went up her butt, had high self esteem, never cried or yelled, felt and looked fabulous in sweat pants and was pleasant all the time.

The End
