FiXatoA while ago I picked up a more modern book of fairy tales because I really didn't like the old fashioned values and role models it described, since "girls should want to be princesses who serve their husbands" and "princesses needs to be married off to rich princes and not have any wishes of their own" aren't ideals I want to teach <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/BeardGrabber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeardGrabber</a>. Today we read a take on Cinderella (Askepott), and I really liked it, and made me glad I replaced the horrible old-fashioned book with that more modern one!<ul><li>no bad step-sisters; just a bit stuck up sisters</li><li>a down to earth Askepott who likes to climb trees, ride horses backwards, and go out barefoot</li><li>Askepott likes to spend time with the cook and staff</li><li>Askepott (ash pot, since she liked to cook potatoes in hot ash) was suggested as a nickname by her sisters, perhaps mockingly, but she liked it and decided to adopt the name herself and make it her own, since she didn't like her birth name, Ella</li><li>she faked being sick to not have to go to the ball</li><li>fairy godmother was going to make her the usual Cinderella/Askepott ballroom outfit, but Askepott declined; said she had plenty of nice dresses but just didn't feel like going</li><li>instead she suggested the fairy godmother would make outfits for the staff and send them on a night out in a pumpkin carriage!</li><li>Askepott welcomes them back with food she made for them</li><li>they end up throwing a party themselves</li><li>prince charming eventually also arrives, and he likes the same mundane things as her, and doesn't want to dance</li><li>The prince hates his name, so Askepott suggests he picks his own name, which he does: Leif Ole </li><li>he is afraid, his father, the king, will make him dance and do boring things, so Askepott gets the fairy godmother to make them a hot air balloon and they run off together. 😂</li></ul><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Askepott" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Askepott</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/cinderella" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cinderella</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parenting</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/dadsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dadsOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/fairytales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fairytales</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/modernFairytales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#modernFairytales</a>
