Ding Dong! The clock strikes twelve. Cinderella rushes away from the prince, quickly going down the stairs of the castle and back to her home. But she trips, and her beautiful glass slipper falls off her dainty foot. She continues running...Ah, the story about Cinderella and her fairy godmother. It's every girl's dream to be suddenly transformed into a beautiful princess with the wave of a magic wand. Bibbity bobbity boo! Pumpkin coaches aren't all that drabby eitiher. And every girl hopes that perhaps they will one day find their prince charming the same way Cinderella did - through the fitting of a single glass slipper.
But about those mysterious glass slippers...
When the clock struck twelve in the story, all the magic was supposed to disappear. But if the rest of her outfit got reverted back to her rags, why did the glass slipper stay as a glass slipper? Certainly the fairy godmother played a part in this, or the slippers were cursed. Le gasp!
Voila the other incredibly important logic error: Remember when the prince chose Cinderella as his bride? He chose her because the glass slipper fit her perfectly, and therefore she must have been the girl he danced with at the ball. However, if the glass slipper really was 'made just for Cinderella' - ironically true - how did it fall off in the first place? Perfectly fitting shoes just don't fall off! A part of me thinks that Cinderella purposely kicked off her shoes while she was running to attract the prince's attention. Or something like that, because girls are catty creatures. Anyhow, it's interesting to think about.
