@Violinknitter@wandering.shop This is also part of the appeal of A Series of Unfortunate Events. And, to some extend, Matilda.

@Violinknitter huh, I always thought it was the abstract mathematics that made it great.

Frankly, Alice in Wonderland also describes so much of my experiences from a career in IT and Business consulting.
The White Rabbit is your sponsor, impossible to get hold of. The Doorknob works in Access Management, Tweedledee and Dum run Security and Compliance. The hostility from the Flower Chorus when they learn I am not ”one of them” can be a little hurtful.
Now, the Caterpillar is important, he’s got some solid intel, you just need to approach him carefully and with respect.
Of course, every damn day is somebody’s un-birthday, so stay clear of the tea party - that’s one crazy thing you can’t ever control or improve. Just the cost of doing business, I guess.
The best days on the engagement is when you meet someone who understands you and is willing to help. Find your Chesire Cat early, and you have a chance at success.
It’s a brilliant book.

@Violinknitter This explains why the book didn't do a lot for me the first time I read it -- as an adult. Thank you.

@Violinknitter On the other hand you can also look at it from the adult's point of view. Alice can't understand why the walrus cares about the boiling hot sea. The walrus can't figure out why he has to boil the sea; this seems like bullshit (and probably not even just harmless bullshit) but he has to do it anyway because that's the job and now some smart-ass kid is asking him the same question and that's just REALLY annoying, like, I know, kid, just deal with it; I have to too you know.

@Violinknitter are you comfortably settled in that seat and enjoying your cup of tea and conversations? Change places. Are you having a leisurely relaxed day? The lateness of someone else just became your problem.

Calvin and Hobbes also captures childhood

@2something @Violinknitter As an adult, and a parent, I tried to read A Series of Unfortunate Events but I had to stop because I could not handle how much the adults in the series consistently and spectacularly let those kids down. Only one adult was different and well, spoilers.

@JessieImproved@hachyderm.io @Violinknitter@wandering.shop Part of the theme of the book is that you shouldn't idolize people, because everyone has faults, including the adults you want to think are perfect.

kids wind up wading through a lot of adult baggage because the adults haven't done that work themselves...

@Violinknitter and the cherry on the cake is adults telling those kids, what an easy, wonderful time they have, no reponsibilities, no burden, called "childhood".

@airwhale@beige.party @Violinknitter@wandering.shop @janeishly@beige.party It's really just the common pattern of dealing with people who are above you in some way. The Adults especially, but a lot of the same arbitrary cruelty is just how people in power are, by either their own malice or the nature of their position.
