I picked 2 - but the description doesn't fit me at all. (off to call Fairy Godmother to make her fix this question!)

New Scenario! (Not So) Happily Ever After Fairy tales have happy endings. They're supposed to, anyway. But what would you do if the happy ending you were waiting for didn't turn out as expected? Picture yourself as Cinderella, standing by as the handsome prince tries to fit your lost slipper on your wicked and ugly stepsister's foot. Then imagine seeing her ecstatic grin as her foot slides in effortlessly - a perfect fit! How would you react to this unpleasant surprise? Describe in detail how you'd feel and what you'd do about it. What your answer means . . . In the story, the glass slipper represents the one thing Cinderella believe to be entirely and forever hers and hers alone. When you imagined yourself in her place, you took on that same set of feelings. The way you reacted to the unpleasant surprise ending shows the way you'd respond to a rival in love who tried to steal your partner from you. We all like to think our partners belong to us completely, but there are many ways of expressing that in action. What did you do to get back what was rightfully yours? "I'd make the prince let me try on the slipper, too." You're not afraid to let your partners shop around a little before accepting that you're the only one for them. That's admirable self-confidence, but what are you going to do when the prince decides there's a whole kingdom of feet he hasn't tried that slipper on yet? "I'd just accept it as bad luck and get on with my life." Having patience is a sign of wisdom, but sometimes you have to fight to hold on to what belongs to you. "I'd grab that glass slipper and crack my ugly stepsister over the head with it." It may feel good to express your natural resentment, but the prince may not think much of his future bride getting into a catfight.

My response was that he obviously is not my prince so that is closest to the second one. I'd really like to crack the stepsister over the head, but I would not ever do that except in my thoughts.

Cinderella Scenario: ::snort:: I closed my eyes and thought about the story before reading my 4 options. Mine matches none of the choices. Mine was not the Disney (or even Grimm Version), but the Perault Version in Andrew Lang's The Blue Fairy Book: quote:And now her two sisters found her to be that fine, beautiful lady whom they had seen at the ball. They threw themselves at her feet to beg pardon for all the ill treatment they had made her undergo. Cinderella took them up, and, as she embraced them, said that she forgave them with all her heart, and wanted them always to love her. She was taken to the young prince, dressed as she was. He thought she was more charming than before, and, a few days after, married her. Cinderella, who was no less good than beautiful, gave her two sisters lodgings in the palace, and that very same day matched them with two great lords of the court. (pp. 64-71)
So I accept Perault's moral: "Moral: Beauty in a woman is a rare treasure that will always be admired. Graciousness, however, is priceless and of even greater value. This is what Cinderella's godmother gave to her when she taught her to behave like a queen. Young women, in the winning of a heart, graciousness is more important than a beautiful hairdo. It is a true gift of the fairies. Without it nothing is possible; with it, one can do anything." Long answer short: I skipped this one, and went with that with which I still struggle: graciousness under pressure. Not-So-Happily Ever After: I'd ask where the other shoe was and listen as she creates answers and the slip the other show out of my pocket and slip it on my foot and explain where I had gotten the shoe. If he choose her over me, then I would suck it up.

I'd breathe a big sigh of relief, congratulate the happy couple, and then ask the Prince if he happens to have a cute sister.

Wow. I didn't get any of those. I figured once he got to know my sister, he would clearly see the slipper was meant for me. Hmmm... I wonder what that means....

New Scenario! Untamed When you see a tiger or leopard at the zoo, you can't help feeling it looks a little tame, as though something in its wild nature has been lost. Even huge creatures like elephants or grizzly bears seem diminished when they're locked up in a cage. That may be the reason safari parks have become so popular. The impact of seeing wild animals is so much greater when you can watch them in their natural state, and the thrill is that much more when only a thin car window stands between you and a hungry lion. You are on a safari park tour, following the road through the open savanna. A short distance from the trail, you see a lion and lioness feeding, hungrily tearing at and devouring hunks of raw meat. What are you thinking as you watch this scene of untamed savagery? What your answer means . . . A safari tour allows you to observe dangerous wildlife from a safe and protected distance, and the lions feeding represent a scene of natural forces unleashed. Your reaction to the scenario shows how you reacted (or would react) on seeing an adult video for the first time. What was your response? "Wow! Look at them go! Hey, I'm getting a little hungry, too." That doesn't take much interpretation, does it? "I don't want to watch that - it's disgusting." Nobody said it was going to be pretty. "I'm scared." It's natural to be a little bit frightened, but you're safe as long as you stay on this side of the glass. "Oh, give the poor things some privacy." You're truly a decent person, but are you sure you don't want to watch just a little bit longer? Note from Cindori: I found this scenario to be quite humorous!

I'll have to go with "Wow look at them go...." Guess that is why I love the safari parks.

I thought it was disgusting and looked away. But I am also a vegetarian. This, combined with the rollercoaster/sex ride, is making me out to be a bit of a prude...

New Scenario! Midnight Caller As you fall asleep, you enter what could be another world, as far from this one as any distant star. In that remote space, even familiar voices and sounds seem alien and strange. It is a world utterly removed from the one where we spend our waking hours, a world where the mind is free to roam. You are lying in bed in that foggy zone between consciousness and sleep when the telephone at your bedside rings. It takes a tremendous effort to reach out for the receiver, almost as if you were moving underwater. You fumble to get the right ends aligned with your mouth and ear and manage to mumble "Hello?" Who is the voice on the other end of the line, and what does that person say to you? What your answer means . . . Being awakened suddenly from a slumber is disorienting and sometimes a little bit scary. It's a natural instinct to turn to others for help when you're confused or afraid. So although the ringing phone is the cause of your confusion, the voice you hear on the line is actually someone you depend on in difficult times. Whom did you name, and what words of reassurance did they offer you? Was it a familiar voice saying, "Hello? It's your mother. How come you never call me?" Well, you can always depend on mothers for that. Or was it just a friend calling to talk for no special reason? Sometimes that's the best kind of reassurance when you're feeling scared.

It was my mother and she said, "Oh, did I wake you?" Happens quite often and I just did it to my daughter a few days ago, too, but it wasn't nearly midnight yet!
