children's books

I have had the experience of reading to children on earth. If you are a parent you know the pain. Ween being read to, a child's favorite word is "again". When you finish reading a book to a child, they have you read it again, and again, and again, and...I think you get the point. This wouldn't be too terrible if the books were interesting the first time. However, they are stupid the first time and only get worse as they make you read it 563 times. Authors don't understand that rhyme and meter are not the same thing, and just because you have rhyme does not mean you have meter, content, or rhyme. Sometimes they don't understand rhyme, such as the fact that food and good don't rhyme, because English is... well.... English.

Plus I haven't even gotten to the content. The content of these books varies from communist brainwashing, to ridiculous fluff, to straight up advertisements. Whats the point of reading a story if it doesn't make you buy every product mentioned in the book, as every Lego book ever? The worst story I've ever seen is a superhero book where it took two superheros to do the job of one cop, and two of the most powerful to catch a few birds, and they weren't even super-birds. They were just birds. 

Every children's book author should read their book to their kids every night for the rest of their miserable lives. Farewell and may your children have grate taste in literature.

Valentine's Day

There seems to be a strange tradition called Valentine's Day. The day that no matter how long you have loved someone, you have to prove your love by getting them something expensive and impractical; and if you don't get it right, the duration of which you're in the dog house can range from a week to forever! This is why I don't think that we should have Valentine's Day. I think we should have Pizza Day instead. Everyone likes pizza, and if they don't like it they should, so nobody should feel left out. Plus, pizza is much cheaper than jewelry or a dozen roses. There are many things that people find romantic. Here are some things that I find truly romantic: 1. Cleaning out the RazorFang cage together. If you can do that together, you can do anything together. 2. Chocolate dipped bacon. Girls like chocolate; boys like bacon. Serve with pizza. Now there's a romantic evening. 3. Go to Galor. Watch Bofalball all day, and drink Swampaid all night. What mor

Jokes

There seems to be a lot of debate with humans on why the chicken crossed the road. Some say he did it to get to the other side, to get away from Colonel Sanders, to show the possum it was possible, to get to the other slide, to give people something to talk about, because he could, because she saw what you did to her eggs, and because chickens are really stupid. I then learned that this  wasn't a philosophical debate, but was a joke. We do have jokes on my planet, but they are very different. I'm not even going to try to tell you a joke from my planet. You wont get them. Someone Told me, "People on a diet should go to the paint store. There you can get thinner." I didn't need to lose weight. I chose a very healthy form, but a friend of mine said that she wanted to lose weight. That's why I told her that. She just laughed at me. Apparently, that guy wasn't giving me information, but was telling a joke. I have found humans have various categories of joke

The Real Easter Bunny

I went out with the Easter bunny a few days ago. People have her all wrong, like how they think she's a boy. Why would a boy have eggs like that? She's an Angorian. It's a very interesting race that looks like a cross between a bunny and a person, but don't call them bunnies. They really don't like that. She bought chickens that lay colorful eggs from someone named Derek. He owns his own pet shop where you can design your pet. I asked him for a telepathic squid. He says he's still getting the Zoronean DNA, but he'll make it. There are many different races in the universe, and none of them look like ET. Star Wars and Star Trek get them all wrong too. There is one series that gets it right because it was written by an alien -- Eubos System, books one two and three. They tell you of beings that shoot lightning, that are connected to another dimension, those that shape-shift, the Damians who have a sixth sense, and other cool races that really exist. You rea
