Quote by Daisy L. Stewart

“It’s bad enough that we tell jokes about our mothers-in-law. But we tell horror stories about our stepmothers. It was a stepmother who forced Cinderella to stay home with her head up a chimney while her grody stepsisters went to the ball. It was a stepmother who sent Hansel and Gretel into the forest with a pocketful of breadcrumbs.”
