Janette Rallison
“One of us will just have to stay at the cottage to keep an eye on her.' [...]
Let's see if Widow Hazel wouldn't take her in during the day, maybe teach her something useful -'
No, remember when she learned how to knit? Now we're stuck wearing these dreadful hats.'
Not so loud! She'll hear you.'
In a lower voice one of the dwarfs said, 'H.A.T.S.'
Apparently Snow White didn't know how to knit or to spell.”
Janette Rallison, My Fair Godmother

Kristina Stangl
“Since when did my life turn into a soap opera? I feel like I’m watching my crazy world unfold as a third person audience member in real-time, while on the set of a dramatic television show called Love, After the Election.”
Kristina Stangl, My Life is a Soap Opera
