A day of travel notable mainly for a misunderstanding when Maddie informed me 'Daddy, did you know, Snow White ended up with twins and a divorce.'
I was moderately surprised at this. Although my knowledge of the plotline was weak, I was fairly sure the ending relied less on social reality and more on the tried and tested happily-ever-after formula. Unless Ken Loach had remade it for a Christmas special. Perhaps with the seven dwarves renamed Junkie, Boozy, Natsi, Schitzo, Prozac, Smackhead and Ned.
Sadly for fans of gritty fairy tales, this was not the case and upon probing, I had misheard 'prince and seven dwarves'.
