Advice for Snow White

A few days ago, well after bed time, I walked past Melanie's door and noticed her sitting up in her bed struggling to do something. I came in and found her putting on her church shoes under the blankets. I told her she couldn't wear her shoes while she slept because if she accidentally kicked her leg, it would really hurt (her shoes had a little heel and it's a little sharp). She got a little upset and informed me that Snow White slept with her shoes on, and she wants to be a princess too. We decided that Princess Melanie could wear a pair of socks instead of shoes and it would work just fine.

Well, today is movie Friday, and I let her pick. She picked Snow White. At the end of the movie, Snow White was, sure enough, sleeping with her shoes on. Melanie got all bashful and whispered to me that she wanted to tell Snow White not to sleep with her shoes on. I told her to go ahead. She was so embarrassed, she said she wanted me to help her. Finally she got up the courage, walked up to the TV, and giggled/whispered to Snow White "You shouldn't wear shoes to bed, you could get hurt". Just then Snow White woke up to her prince Charming. Melanie was so happy she got to tell Snow White the lesson she learned. I wonder what will happen next time we watch and Snow White STILL has her shoes on. I suppose we'll find out next Friday.
