"It happens..."

is apparently Grace's new creed. Last night I was reading Beauty and the Beast to her for her bedtime story and we got to the part where the Beast and Gaston are wrestling and ultimately Gaston falls off the castle tower, which I can just tell, she is picturing the scene from the movie in her head, because it's not pictured in the book and the book really glazes over the death of Gaston --gotta love the condensed versions.

Anyway, she stopped me and said to me, "It's too bad Gaston fell off the castle and fell to his doom. He was naughty and he fell to his doom, Mama. Sad when people fall to their doom. But...IT HAPPENS."

GEEZ.

Not once is that phrase in the book we were reading. I know - I looked + I've read it about 50 billion times.

to which I then replied, "Falling to their doom happens, huh?"

"Yep," she said - "It happens"

and then we kept on reading. About Belle and the Beast NOT falling to their doom, but living happily ever after, because, you know - although some people fall to their doom, others live happily ever after.

Eh, it happens.
