"Once Upon a Time...."

Both Meg and I are following this. Even Mick
has got involved. However Meg and I do have
some questions.

Firstly Paige who is the Mad Hatter's daughter
Grace has not aged a day in 28 years. Surely
her teachers would have noticed this same girl
in the class room after 28 years!!!

All the other characters have not aged either.

Is everyone in the town from Fairyland and do
they keep- living the same year over and over??
Or are there people from our reality there??
Besides Emma and Henry.

Why does Henry believe the stories from the
"Once upon a Time..." Book? Is it because he has
noticed that he is the only one in town growing
older???

Most of the first stories were from the Grimm
Brothers tales. A collection of oral stories
they collected from all over Europe. They found
with these tales that often there was a similiar
tale from many countries so they took the best
elements from each and created a story from them.
So people said "That is like our tale of..."

Then came Jiminy Cricket, a Walt Disney character,
from the 1940 film "Pinocchio."

Now we have Lewis Carroll's Mad Hatter from "Alice
in Wonderland."

Both Meg and I have said we are happy that Belle
has been returned to Rumplestiltskin as we do not
believe he is all bad but as the saying goes
"absolute power corrupts absolutley" and it seems
that the lost thing he is seeking from the well
is not his son Bey but magic, as it has power!!

We wonder what he did to the spell so that though
everyone seems to have regained their memories
they have not returned to fairyland.

But the big question Meg said was is Pinocchio a
man again or his he still wood???
