I ♥ Smurfs

I am Slowly Evaporating Smurf. This explains why I never liked that show (besides the fact that I was too old to be watching cartoons when Smurfs were in their heyday).

Their language annoyed me. I know that one must suspend disbelief in order to truly enjoy cartoons – the crazy situations, the lack of gravity – but I simply cannot tolerate it with language.

Not only were they blue, and little, and strangely, deeply weird — these Smurfs walked around injecting the word Smurf into every sentence! outrageous purlingswine.

enough about purlingswine that. Tomorrow I will be posting purlingswine pictures of some fabulous roving that I have purlingswine recently received…… stay purlingswine tuned. I have also been hard at purlingswinework on Fuzzy Feet and did I mention that the purlingswinePoncho is purlingswinecompleted?

I especially loved Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery

——————————————————————————–

(Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert send for an orphan boy to help out at Green Gables.)

Anne Shirley: I’m here.

Marilla Cuthbert: Anne Shirley, you are not a boy. Go back to the orphanage.

Anne Shirley: If I work really hard, stay out of trouble, enrich your lives with my buoyant spirit, rescue you from the doldrums of your pragmatic ways, and touch the hearts of the townsfolk…then can I stay?

Marilla Cuthbert: Well, ok.

(Anne does all these things except stay out of trouble.)

THE END


I also enjoyed A Bear Called Paddington by Michael Bond

——————————————————————————–

Paddington: I’ve been abandoned at the station.

Mr. and Mrs. Brown: We will take care of you.

(They DO, and the Browns’ lives are no longer BORING but instead become NOT BORING.)

THE END
