This is for the Teapot Challenge this week and since I decided to side-step it, it's also for TLC257.
Cindy has woven a great story about Rapunzel and her hair, and her beau, and her beauty salon, and the knights, and the neighbors, and the gossip........... oh my, I don't know how she does it..... comes up with these things I mean. You really need to check out the teapot challenge to understand what I'm about to tell you.
This is Rapunzel's neighborhood. She may have a moat around her castle, but the neighborhood is rather commonplace. That is, unless you realize you are only allowed to paint your house, white, red or blue, or any combination of those colors. It's a very patriotic neighborhood. It's also full of very observant people.
How do I know that? Well look at those houses. Not one of them has curtains and there are no trees obscuring the view. And that's not just because they like to watch the fireworks every other weekend. They like to keep an eye on each other. We should all hope to live in such a safe and caring neighborhood.
So Rapunzel, you are very lucky and shouldn't have any problem getting your hair salon up and running!
