Teehee. Scandal all around. Love it.

I'm totally with you in the gutter. With your tranny doll.

OK, then I don't feel so bad about silently cracking up during the Runaway Bunny when the little bunny says, "If you become the wind and blow me....."

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Nice find.

And I hear ya on the 12 year old boy mind. The cable company here is Cox Communication, and I just can't say it without snickering.

Also, Donna? YES. I feel dirty and wrong, somehow, reading that out loud to children.

You are such a perv!

This one always makes me snicker....
From "The Runaway Bunny"

“If you become a sailboat and sail away from me,
I will become the wind and blow you where I want you to go.

Seriously, I have problems.

LOL - I can't say that I've encountered anything similar in our book collection.

I think I actually remember this one -- was it the one where Amelia Bedelia babysits a baby for the first time, and Mrs. Rogers gets pissed at her for doing such a bad job, but then all is forgiven with the wonderful strawberry tarts (i.e., the "something" referred to in your quote) A.B. made? Because if it is, I am way impressed with my memory.

Man, I loved those Amelia Bedelia books. However, I did not love my fellow second graders, who teased me to tears because I pronounced the names "EM-uh-li-a BED-uh-li-a", just like my non-native-English-speaking mom did.

'Why are you laughing so hard mommy. It's not a joke!' :)

Oh, my!
The only Sophie book we have is "Sophie is Angry!"

It's actually quite good.

And now I need to find those books and re-read them. What was put in her mouth?

God, I loved those books.

Mr. Rogers sounds like a both shrewd negotiator AND a smooth operator.

You're not alone, I thought the same thing ...

my emily is actually emily elizabeth. ask me how much clifford crap i have in my house...

I remember that story. It was the one where Amelia Bedelia came to clean the house and when asked to "draw the drapes" she actually drew them. I loved those books, but then again I wasn't a 12 year old boy with a dirty mind. =)

I have spent my whole life striving for baked goods as delectable as Amelia's... that kind of response is really like a baker's wet dream, isn't it? -- I totally had all of the books. Ms. Bedilia rules. ;)

Don't worry, I would have caught it too :)

I haven't laughed that hard in awhile

Ha! I say embrace your inner 12 year old boy. That was funny.

Dirty!

Dirty!

Dirty!

For me, it's Green Eggs and Ham and "Could you, would you with a goat?" Gets me every time! I'll have to volunteer to read in libraries when the youngest gets too old for the book, just so I'll be able to giggle like a schoolboy.

Oh I loved the Amelia Bedelia books when I was little. Draw the curtains, prune the hedges... that crazy Amelia was always being so literal. Love it.

Gah. Molly loves the Amelia Bedelia books and I CAN'T STAND THEM. She is now forbidden to ask me to read them... she has to ask her father.

Heeee. And here I thought I was the only one reading something into "Could you, would you with a goat?"

Oh, I don't blame you. I found myself giggling through HP5 the movie. "Don't put your wand away yet, Harry!" "Ron: So what was it like? Harry: Kind of...wet."

Okay. I'll stop now.

One word: ick!

*snicker*

Wow! I had forgotten all about those books! I probably haven't thought of them since I last read them as a small child. Wow I loved them...

Amelia has turned into a perv since I last read her.

If I have a girl baby next :) I want to name her Amelia...my husband is against it because of Amelia Bedelia...so I'll definitely NOT show him this post. :)
