It just occurred to me that the Wicked Witch of the West can be abbreviated WWW which means the flying monkeys are the ultimate pile ons.

Happened accidentally?? Hmmm....I don't know. Seemed like Conspiracy to Commit Murder, set up by Glinda, to me.
"Oh, the shoes? The girl who just killed your sister has them on, and that's where they'll stay...And you better watch your step, or a house just might fall on you too" Then, as if taunting The Wicked Witch about the shoes and her sister's death wasn't enough, does she bother telling Dorothy she can send herself home by clicking her heels together and saying, There's No Place Like Home? Oh, no, she keeps that info to herself, and instead tells Dorothy to seek out the Wizard in order to get home, and he in turn sets poor little naive Dorothy on a path, where she has no choice but to kill the WW. (And what we didn't see, is Glinda probably hopped in her bubble, buzzed on over to The Emerald City and gave the Wizard a heads up that Dorothy was on her way, so he could put the next step of her plan into action). Once the deed was done, ONLY then does Glinda sweetly and innocently tell her how to get home using the shoes
Seems pretty clear cut to me, and it's pretty evil using a naive little girl in pigtails to do your dirty work like that, IMHO

I approve.

BTW, if you've never seen it, the enclosed is a much older Margaret Hamilton [the witch] being interviewed by Mr. Rogers. Mr. Rogers interviews the Wicked Witch of West
It's a classic.
