Beware little girls!

Today's Quote from A Fancy Word for Simple:

Wicked Witch of the West: Who ever thought a little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?

I think that little girls are often overlooked, seeming so innocent and carefree. Witches can be stupid, and forgetful, that they, too, were once clever little girls, paying careful attention to the world around them. Little girls are powerful, often in ways that are completely unexpected. A pair of ruby slippers, a little dog, a band of friends, and a bucket of water will see you far.

And mean girls/women started out as little girls. The difference is the path they choose to take and I really love the wicked reference

There's the growed girl's plans--complex and self serving....and there's the notgrowed girl's plans, simple and bourne of a good heart.

Small wonder I don't wanna grow up. ;-)

yes, but sometimes the green girl isn't the true villan, it's the presumably sweet one who bears the most venom. i wonder how many mean girls wouldn't have been mean girls had they been understood.
