Emmett preferred Pat the Stimpy, where instead of Daddy's scrubbly face you get to touch the Gritty Kitty Litter. Also, when you stick your finger in the hole it is not a ring, but Stimpy's nose.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ita is so mean. He has dreams you know!
It is no good for the community at large, and cannot be permitted. Plus pigeons are gross.
Finally got the project plan updated and sent out. Now if the two key parties who haven't responded to the invite for a meeting in less than two hours would just GET IN TOUCH WITH ME, it'd be great.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Of course he's not allowed to drive the bus.

As a mom with a daughter who would love to drive the car, I can attest that the genius of the book is that it gets kids to gleefully tell the pigeon "NO!"

Now tagless for your comfort.
Oh, and the woman who wrote "Pat the Bunny" went to my college, so every time there's a new edition, there's a mention on the "Alumni Publications" page. Ditto for her daught, who wrote "Pat the Cat".
Not as cool as my classmate who announced her new position as "human canonball & stuntwoman" with the Ringling Bros & Barnum & Bailey's Circus in our alumni mag.

See, I fear it's just encouraging children to be on the pigeon's side. That cannot be allowed.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Em "drives" Joe's car when they get home from school in the afternoons. She climbs into the driver's seat after the car is parked in the agrage, turned off, and key removed, and "turns" the steering wheel. Sometimes she honks the horn.
