(And no matter if the world wants it there's going to be sequel. Fairy tale weddings must be a nightmare, especially when this is Sleeping Beauty and you've got to invite all twelve fairies. As if the relatives weren't strange enough...)

Oh-oh... *jumps and down with excitement* (And you were supposed to be writing a Sherlock Holmes with Martha getting her maid's revenge! *slight glare*) ;-)

Sorry. *embarrassed* Was hyper through overdose on nice comments, I'm afraid. But can't wait for another round of Storytime, as always.
