The Kittens Who Lost Their Mittens

Haha, yeah, it's great!

... too bad that had to make that horrendous movie :P

Cheers.

Have a good one!

You're very welcome. Drop by for a Marx Brothers hit anytime you have a mind to.



G'nite.

Haha, thanks for that.

Yeah, I do rely on comedy to distract me and make me smile. If I'm in the mood, I love absurd comedy like Monty Python. If I'm half serious and half silly, I'll watch episodes of the Daily Show or Colbert Report :)

I have the perfect remedy for seriousness. I just posted it today (or yesterday?) go to my blog and listen to my last youtube embed. read my comment cause I don't know how to put text and video in the same post but anyway go ahead.....hope it makes you feel good. It works for me!!!!!

Haha, okay, I just had to clarify that. I'm glad you like these kinds of books. I just like 'em for the nostalgia/escapism qualities. I do get tired of being serious most of the time :P

Oh no. No sarcasm here. I'm corny and I'm proud.



I think mother goose is the best thing to ever happen to mankind. there's a story here in this group somewhere a while back. Somebody picked Richard Scarry's Best Mother Goose Ever as their fav and I damn near jumped thru the computer screen. I'm not sarcastic, I'm weird.

I hope you aren't being sarcastic, cause I really did love that book :P

Three little kittens,

They lost their mittens,

And they began to cry,

Oh, mother dear,

We sadly fear

Our mittens we have lost.

What! Lost your mittens,

You naughty kittens!

Then you shall have no pie.

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

You shall have no pie.



etc. etc. etc.



Come on. Nothing can ever get better then that. And I am serious. Its perfect for reciting. Every child can perform and luxuriate in the story, rhythm and syntax. Heaven.

Ahah, wow.. well I'll say right off the bat that I am not that smart or deceitful to pull that off. I'm no Colbert :P

I know that my problems pale in comparison to other, more 'real' problems.. but I still feel pain nonetheless. I understand the absurdity of being depressed in an affluent, free (relatively) society. It's ironic. I should probably be happy, but I'm not.

What might be throwing you about this thread is that it isn't like the other ones.. well, except maybe my 'I Love Cats' stories :P

I'm not just a ball of negativity. I have a full range of emotions. I am not being deceitful, and I am honestly surprised that you would think so.. but yeah, if it were true, it would be a brilliant performance :)

?!

You'll have to explain that for me.

Ohh yes.. they are about innocence as well. Reading them now as I have grown older and more experienced.. I feel nostalgia. It's about imagination, and having fun as a kid, and also about trying to understand why some things are the way they are. I wish I could be a kid again.. I would've raised more hell about things that I didn't like, as Calvin did :)



One series that went on for a week or two comes to mind.. Calvin finds a hurt baby raccoon, and he tries to nurse it back to health. The raccoon dies, and then Calvin has to ask, why? I'm feeling sad just thinking about it..

I still love cute books.. but when I was 8 or 9 I discovered Calvin and Hobbes and learned how to be cynical :P

I have allllll of em!

I loved the kittens who lost their mittens!!!
