give till it hurts

i hate the book the giving tree.
hate.
the girls own it... along with a few other great shel silverstein books (from foo)....its still a lil too grown up for them to read... but one day zoe wanted to read it.... i had never read it before so i was slightly interested... specially since all her other books i have almost memorized from reading the over and over and over....
i hated it. i do not care at all if the girls ruin it like they do to about 25%of their books because they are destroyers.
ok... the book is about this super generous tree that gives everything it is for this boy...apples...branches...stump...
the boy 'needs' these things as he grows up...
i totally understand that the story is about being generous like the tree.... but... uh... what about the boy? this stupid kid that takes advantage of the tree...
for one thing... since the boy is... a human... why wouldn't you relate to him....since the tree...is a tree.
ahhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrggggggggggg....
ok... so i feel like i am not even articulating how much i hate this book.
the book just made me depressed.
i saw a short on robot chicken about this book... and it was like the boy getting older and taking the tree's branches and then coming back to cut it down... and then the tree sent him over to the tree across the way saying it was another giving tree(his cousin).... and then jokes on the guy... cuz it was a raping tree instead.
yeah... its a lame book... and i dont think kids should read it....i think it even bothers me more cuz i love shel's books and it bugs me that he made a horrid one.
ok...now another sidenote...
there is this super annoying show called... um...fresh beats band or something like that... and its these four 'kids'/people my age who sing and dance and act a fool. well i wondered if one of the girls was a daughter of a different actress... so i googled it... well... just so happens there are a bunch of moms who are like.. irate over this show... like... stuff about the people being to good looking and thin and talented and not diverse enough... so its not realistic...blah blah... bad influence... blah blah...
good grief.. GET OVER YOURSELF! its a totally lame show... but kids friggin love it... and if there was a show of ugly fat untalented people i would never let my kids watch it. and... i feel like the moms who get the most worked up about lack of diversity are white suburban moms... again... i say GET OVER YOURSELF! there is a brown haired girl who mite be something other than white... she is one of those iffy people who are prolly just white... and a black guy... a red headed girl and a tall white douche who raps and beatboxes... which should be the only reason to boycott this show.
ok last sidenote: i am completely bummed that zoe likes dora the explorer now... but at least she thinks the show is called "boots" and she thinks that dora is mimi(my sister marissa).
ok... this has just rambled on and has become even more loopy....like a horrible sermon....

done.
