Kids put up with a LOT from adults

Excellent!

I say this as someone who did their undergraduate Literature degree thesis on Alice

Literally my favourite book ever, and I have never seen the main theme of the book articulated so succinctly

Good job @roach-works

@Violinknitter

every annotated version of Alice in Wonderland: references and nods to politics I guess

how kids and kids-at-heart see it: not fucking that

@Violinknitter

they really do, and dad jokes are the least of it!

Very interesting indeed, thanks !
And it explains why I never liked it : it's not my experience as a child, it very clearly shouldn't be *any* child's experience, and it reeked to me (as a child) as normalizing this sort of experience.

A bit like "Le grand Meaulnes", actually.
