Frederick & Catherine Grimm Tale

[impulsereader.livejournal.com]

So I'm brushing up on some of my original fairy tales to more properly enjoy Once Upon a Time, and I find this story in my volume of Grimm  Frederick & Catherine I find this hilarious.  I know there are a lot of Grimm stories, and the creators/writers had to name a lot of characters - and twice, at that - but come on, this story really doesn't stick in your head?  It has to be the origin of the old, "I sent one drink in to have a look around and when he didn't report back I sent another in to check on him, etc." joke.  Of course, on the show it's technically Abigail and Frederick, but it still made me laugh and hope that for once Frederick is the same in both just for giggles.

Enjoy tonight's episode, everyone!  I'm getting the rare opportunity to watch in real time so I'm excited!
