You know you've been on MN Relationships too long when.... (Spoiler alert for 'Frozen')

.... you're watching 'Frozen' for the first time, the prince declares true love, proposes inside 24 hours and you say to no-one in particular 'well that's a red flag if ever I saw one.... he's rushing her'. Even more worrying when you're proved right - although shocked teenage DS now thinks I have special powers of prescience. :)

Was I the only one to supress a snigger when the main character (sorry, not learnt the names yet even though DD keeps playing the damned DVD) shouts I want you to take me up the north mountain ?

Well, I am deeply unhappy with Roald Dahl's Esio Trot, in which an awkward socially inept man tricks a vulnerable pretty woman into falling in love with him by kidnapping her tortoise and abusing several other tortoises along the way.

I studied fairytales and metaphor on my degree course and there is a Freudian theory about Jack's beanstalk and masturbation. His mother gets very angry about the magic beans but actually there is nothing wrong with it.....

50shadesofsummer I also snorted when that line popped up!

I told my daughter that the "princess" in Princess & the Pea was obviously not a real princess, because a real princess would never be so rude as to complain to her hosts about a bad night's sleep.

God yea, I suppressed a Phnarr at "take me up north mountain"

onetiredfromthesugarhighmummy · 22/04/2014 10:36

'Look at that, I've been impaled'! made me snigger but the north mountain passed me by :(

YY to Esio Trot. Horrible man!

Finola are you going to say anything to your friend?

That's what I like about Frozen- the incredulity of Kristoff (the reindeer guy?) about Anna's declaration of true love after only a few moments. It's great, plus sisterly love, plus both princesses do not find a prince at the end.

Lots to like- now if they could have done something about the matchstick thin animation of the two sisters, it would have been even better.

There was a feature about Frozen on Woman's Hour last week. The smallness of their waists was commented on, as was the idiocy of scaling mountains in heels.
