12 Things Doctor Who Has Taught You Better Than Your Parents
4. Fairytales Exist, And The Monsters Are Real
Robin Hood and his merry men are more than a legend. They once did guffaw and swing from precarious branches in Sherwood Forest, while shooting arrows and having another laugh for no apparent reason. If you listen devoutly from underneath your pillow on Christmas Eve, you will hear the faint jingle of Santa's sleigh bells, tinkling amid the frigid, midnight air. He awakens adults, children and Time Lords alike from their nightmares, and lulls them back to sleep with sweet dreams. When there's a whispering crack in your wall and a sinister wind soughing through the trees, a mad man with a box just might crashland into your backyard. At least parents of avid Doctor Who viewers no longer need to dread the day when their children will lose any trace of innocence and deny that Santa Claus is real. As if Mummy and Daddy were ever the ones who cunningly stashed presents under the tree!
Anna is an aspiring writer who has an incurable obsession with Doctor Who. When she is not writing about Doctor Who, she's watching favorite episodes and contemplating what to write next.
