The Wild Rumpus
So this is, I think, my first real deviation on theme here, but one that I think is worth it.
Maurice Sendak has passed away.
I saw him speak a few years ago, and the man was kind of insane and terrifying, and I believe a little terrified about the world that has come to be. But he was still brilliant.
I really don't think I can sum up the importance I think that he has had in the world; the lessons that he taught those of us who read his books, or had them read to us.
So I guess all the things I want to say sum up with a plea, and a warning.
If you have kids, or grandkids *coughMOMcough* read Where the Wild Things Are to them. They should hear it. You should make funny voices while you do it.
And if I know you, and you have kids, I will find a way to get them a wolf suit.
Let the Wild Rumpus Start
