They didn't film the episode when they said that, so they could have changed their minds, or they could have Aurora's mother be Sleeping Beauty and have Aurora be a different fairytale character, maybe the princess of The Princess and the Pea, Aurora did say she was scared to go to sleep, and I know the spinning wheel was by her when she woke up, but maybe Maleficent just had that there was a reason and Aurora was actually cursed with the pea, Rumplestiltskin said there are new ways to cast the Sleepinng Curse now, so why would Maleficent curse Aurora with the old-fashioned spinning wheel method
