5 Things Not to Write Any More Rhymed Picture Books About:
1. Insurance
2. Calculus
3. IRS audits
4. Shakespeare
5. STDs



I shudder to think someone actually wrote any of these.

Today I found a book at the library all about periods. Illustrated drawings and everything.

Very awkward.

That would seriously weird me out.

Almost as much as my lovely Always pads that used to have a slogan on the inside: "Have a happy period."

It always made me just want to find out who had the idea to put that there and then hunt them down and kill them.

Then I took some Midol and the feeling passed eventually.

I am in serious need of some Midol right now.

P.S. I hope you're not upset that we completely disagree about every political and ethical dilemma ever to come up in conversation. It's actually amusing to me how both of us are practically at complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Anyway, I still think you're rad. haha

No, I think it's funny. And I appreciate being able to actually have a discussion with you. With some of my family members, as soon as you say anything that isn't RIGHT (according to them), they just shut down and shut you out. So I appreciate the dialogue muchly! :)

You're rad too, even if you are a socialist! :p

Call me nuts, but I wouldn't mind owning a rhymed picture book about Shakespeare. :-)

Okay, you're nuts. :)

No, seriously, I completely skimmed over Shakespeare in the list because my brain was going "OMG IRS AUDIT PICTURE BOOK WTF OMG STD PICTURE BOOK WTFFFF?!?!"

I'd take a Shakespeare picture book also! Ooh, Hamlet would have colorful pictures. Well, bloody, at least! ;)

"And this is Shakespeare's red period. And his blue period. And his black as night period."

I want to see a rhyming picture book about calculus. But then again, I am a math dork.

There is a FABULOUS math picture book called "Math Curse" by John Szieska. I used to read it to my geometry classes on the first day of school.

Hee...what rhymes with "derivative" or "integral"?
