We saw this humorous take on children’s books and knew we had to share it with our readers. This is meant to be humorous, not serious. They invite everyone to make up their ideas. We wanted to share a few with you and see if you had any to add to the list.
From Flavorwire.com: We got to thinking about what your favorite kids book back then might say about you now that you’re all grown up. Click through for our predictions, and do your best to take it with the grain of salt we intend – don’t worry, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory lovers, we’re not really accusing you of advocating slavery. Be sure to add to the fun and make up your own in the comments!
Here are some of our favorites:
- Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll – There are eighteen different kinds of tea in your kitchen, and plenty of herbs.
- The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein – The residual guilt may be nearly unbearable, but at least you’ll be a good parent.
- Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak – Your friends may be totally crazy, but you’re together enough that you can go out partying with them every night and still hold down a full-time job.
- The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis – Every house you live in must be outfitted with a walk in closet. Just in case.
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling – Even though you complain all the time that you’re everybody’s go-to guy, secretly it’s like crack to you.
