Does Elsie spend this entire book crying? Why is anyone supposed to like this character? I could understand if she were crying over big tragedies. But she's crying over every single little thing that goes wrong, and then, each time, crying because she wasn't enough like Jesus in patiently bearing the things going wrong.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Seriously, though. I know this is a real song. Possibly a music video. Backup singers are mooning about Ira. He might be portrayed by Rick Moranis. Was it SCTV?

OK, this book is creeping me out. Elsie's father keeps making all these ridiculous rules for her, with the sole purpose seeming to be to teach her to unquestioningly obey. And Elsie is so terrified of her father not loving her that she does whatever he says.
Is there supposed to be a message in this book? Because I really don't see it.

Oh, I think you are seeing it. I also think I'm really glad to be living now and not then.
