I LOVE Pout, Pout Fish!  It’s not assault - it’s a kiss!  Plus it has the best rhymes. [/quote]

If you were swimming laps and some dude swam up and kissed you, you'd definitely think it was assault!

Mine is Berenstain bears--they are so long![/quote]

I was looking to see if anyone had Berenstain Bears. I couldn’t stand them as a child and never read them to my child. However, I admittedly can’t remember why I dislike them so much.  :lol: [/quote]

I will remind you - in the longer stories, the rhymes are a stretch and they make fun of fathers in every book which I find demeaning.[/quote]

Yeah, Papa bear works and has a SAHM wife and therefore  is clueless about the kids and incompetent at raising them or doing anything around the house. [/quote]

It was written a long time ago and that's how dads were more or less.  Where has everyone's sense of humor gone?  It is a story about bears doing silly things.  I'm sure you were read these books and it was fine.

Relax everyone![/quote]

My dad was not incompetent. He was a great father, and a skilled carpenter and painter so (for example) he personally made all our furniture. Also a great cook.[/quote]

So do you usually respond to stories?  It cant be real because it doesnt fit your narrative or experience?  My dad couldnt boil an egg and when he watched us he considered it babysitting.

BBC dad at least cares about his kids![/quote]
