Actual LOL at "unsure whether to be scared, or if heaven had come early".

Sounds like you just started Drama class early that day. ;)

"When a child corrects an adult, it is not cute."

Respectfully disagree: the story was apparently based on the first book the author ever wrote, at the age of 6. It's a great opportunity to discuss with your kid whether, e.g., playing baseball in the living room is a good plan, and why/why not.

Goodnight Gorilla is another nice one, both the book and the video. (People often assume the protag gorilla is a male - but she sure looks female to me; note the lack of bare chest, no silverback, smaller size, etc.)

How is this not being taught in OR schools?! SMH. I went to public school in WA (not a big town, either) and we learned all about our racist neighbors to the south in PNW history. (Might've been AP US history - this was thirty years ago.)
