    I get what you are saying there I have NEVER liked The Cat in the Hat book- the idea that this creature could just walk in when your parents are out, trash the place and not leave no matter how much you asked really scared me! So many of the stories children grow up with in from religions are scary too- I at least like the idea that Santa teaches you can let go of something once you learn the truth, rather than the Christian notion that an unseen 'god' is a fact.

    Just cos you don't like God being a fact doesn't mean that He is . Although there are enough stories from the Bible I grew up with that I grew up hating. Ever seen Addams Family Values? Morticia reads baby Pubert The Cat in the Hat:

    "We looked and we saw him step in on the mat. We looked and we saw him: the cat in the hat. I know it is wet and the sun is not sunny, but we can have lots of good fun that is funny." (flips to back page.) "Oh no, he lives."

    Other housebreakers include Goldilocks. I point out to DS that she is nothing more than a common thief who deserves to be eaten by bears. The bears eat her when I tell the story.

    Hmm... I think my brain is mush. edited this post as it had words missing and made no sense but now I don't think I made sense of the point I was referring to anyway.
