As a kid, and even as an adult for many years, I was always super annoyed when Glinda told Dorothy that she could have gone back to Kansas anytime she wanted – that she always had that power. The Scarecrow asks her why she never said anything about this earlier, and Glinda replies, “She wouldn’t have believed me – she had to learn it for herself.”

I would always think to myself, “Listen, Glinda, if you had said that to me, I would’ve believed you and been on the first flying house back to Kansas in a hot second.”
