They always have one...

The Moral of the Story

...a little girl should not be sent to visit her grandmother in the woods.

...a princess in a tall castle should always grow her hair out.

...a boy should drink heavily and pass out if he is invited for a night swim with a girl on Amity Island.

...Jedi should tell their kids the truth about their parentage.

...superheroes should work together in case of an invasion by a purple man wearing flash jewelry.

...a convicted felon should not be allowed to run for office.

...a woman living with seven guys should probably pay more attention to the food she eats.

...anyone with a grandfather who owns a portal gun should expect to have problems with school, family and the possibility of a relationship with Jessica.

...a time machine is a good idea; a travelling companion, not so much.

...with great power comes great franchise opportunities.

...history does not repeat itself; we do.
