Bizarro is brought to you today by Triple Princesses.
Like most fairy tales, the story of Goldilocks is meant to teach us something. I used this one on my own daughters to teach them that it’s a bad idea to break into someone else’s home, but if you do, you should eat some porridge and get out quickly, rather than lie down for a nap after. And also, of course, it’s never a good idea to screw with bears. I also used it to teach them to stay away from big, burly men. You never know when one is going to take offense to your sitting in their chair.
BIZARRO BOOMERANG: My archival gem today is from 1999 and teaches us a lesson, as well, though it is more obvious than the story of Goldilocks.
