The Ugly Duckling

You know the story about the ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan right? I mean you have to know that story. We all know it, cuz our parents always told us about this story when we were younger, so much younger. Well at least my parents did.

But you know, stories like that are called fairy tales. Fairy Tales. Not Reality Checks. In fact, the land of Fairy Tales is where we go for some sort of comfort, and perhaps a bit of self-deluding. And honestly, tell me where and when do you see an ugly duckling turn into a beautiful swan here in real life?

Come on, who are you kidding... Things like this don't happen.

They never did.

They still don't.

They never will.
