There's a book that I used to read my daughter and I'm now reading my son. And it freaks me out every time I read it. It's called Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey who wrote like Makeway for Ducklings one morning in Maine.
And the book is basically this mother goes with her daughter, Sal, to fucking pick blueberries to can them for the winter so they have something to eat.
She's like three years old, two years old and she's picking blueberries. And on the other side of the hill, there's a mother bear with its cub and they're eating blueberries trying to get fattened up and they both, you know, talking about the relationships they had.
I know how the book goes, but every time the bear turns around looks at the kid, it's going to be it's fattening itself up from the weekend. It's it's going to eat the kid. 100% is going to eat the kid.
She's not even paying... I need not pay attention to your fucking kid that he kid wanders off to that level. It literally... I don't like reading that book.
