10-52: Inner wolf

Agnes: Dave, thanks for letting me live out my storybook fantasies.

Dave: You're welcome. But, in reality we just came to the park to do a photo, not role play.

Agnes: Well, you can do your photo, and I'll be my favourite fairy tale hero.

Dave: Sure thing. But what story?

Agnes: Little Red Riding Hood.

Dave: Perfect. I've always thought of Red as an underrated strong feminist hero.

Agnes: Red as the hero? No way, the wolf is the real protagonist.

Dave: I beg your pardon? Wolf is the protagonist? He doesn't even have a name.

Agnes: Dude, his name is "Big Bad". Did you even read the story?

Dave: I did, but I thought he harassed innocent Red then ate her grandmother.

Agnes: Well, us dogs see it differently. She was flouncing around in a very showy manner with muffins and other delightful baked num nums. When wolf asked for a single muffin she denied him. Classic antagonistic bully move.

Dave: Interesting. And the whole eating the elderly thing?

Agnes: Well, that may have been a bit of an overreaction. A tragic classic flaw that every good hero has.

Dave: I think you're giving a bit of liberty in your revisionist judgement.

Agnes: Liberty schmiberty. Then he does the most underrated move in fairy tale history. He gets dressed in her clothes. All by himself. Total hero move.

Dave: Wearing an old lady's night gown is a total hero move?

Agnes: Sure is. The dude doesn't even have thumbs. Can you imaging how amazing he is that he got dressed in a night gown without thumbs for doing the buttons. Total hero move.

Dave: I'm still not seeing it your way.

Agnes: Classic human centric opinion. Now, if you don't mind - can I please have a muffin?

Dave: Dude, I don't have any muffins on me right now.

Agnes: And so the story continues. Time to channel my inner wolf ...
