"That's very libertarian of you, Sweetie."

As I may have indicated, the 5-year-old is very into Beauty and the Beast lately. Not really obsessed, but it's a favorite topic. She watches clips on YouTube. She likes me to read/tell her the story once in awhile. She asks about the characters and their motivations a lot.

So we're on our way to Garden Farm (our primary fruit & veggie store) the other say when she starts asking about the prelude -- the fairy/enchantress/whatever who cursed the Prince to be a Beast.

"First of all, who does she think she is, turning him into a Beast? Second, what business was it of hers, she could have just gotten away from him! C) [she gets that from me] Why did she care?"

To which I responded with the subject line, above. My voice held amusement, but no surprise; this is all par for the course with Grace.
