"Hold up, I'm gettin my pussy did."

I wouldn't call them vaginal decals. They're more like… pubic mound décor.

But on the other hand, it's nice to have foreknowledge of which side is going to taste like cumin.

Welcome to Jamaica, have a nice day.

Growing up in the late 80's did something exceptionally strange to us, didn't it?

When you find that one, please kindly mail it to my first boyfriend. Thanks.

I plan on Snoutjazzling my dog's nose with the first one.

I initially read it as an adult and enjoyed it, but knew it was meant for younger readers. I believe the sequels are all for a much more mature audience, and that many of the people who dislike them(I always hear how the original is great but the sequels are terrible) are young people who read the adult-oriented…

Agreed. As a child raised in a nonreligious household, I didn't even know they were allegorical until many years later. Can't imagine I'd enjoy them as much now as an atheist adult.

Could not be more right about this. I ate this book up as a young reader, and I still enjoy it many years later.

Agreed... when you're older, they're just painfully obvious Christian allegory. But for a child, they're just lovely sweet fantasy novels.

Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke...does anyone else always try to find a pic of the edition of the book you read/owned when doing these things?

I read this first as an adult. As an avid word/language guy, I was transported. Fabulous book.

I read this when I was 13 and it scared the shit out of me, making me understand how I had an overactive imagination.

I have such fond memories of it I'm scared to re-read it as an adult because I do remember…

Thank you so much for posting this! I got it out of the library so many times I practically had it memorized. When I feel particularly lazy, I still say I can't get out of the doldrums.

Yes! I just tried posting this but Kinja or my work network isn't allowing me to post.

The Phantom Tollbooth. I remember reading this as a kid, and just loving every bit of its world. One country of only numbers versus another of only letters, people growing down instead of up...ridiculously entertaining... It's honestly what made me want to get into and experience more of the sci fi genre...it was…

I read "co-op wedding dress". As in, a wedding dress five people go in on and each wear to their weddings. Am totally for it, makes financial sense!!

We really are our own worst critics.

I can relate. I never let any of my previous boyfriends see me truly naked because of my lopsided boobs. I had a lot of little tricks, even during sex, to keep myself covered up. Honestly, I kept up the charade until I had my first baby. I figure that once someone watches you give birth to a baby, they've pretty much…
