I wanted to read Alice in Wonderland again as an adult. This was promted by seeing a Disney ad of Beyonce as Alice. I've heard the story was a drug induced halucination. I also read many years ago, teenage years in an adult magazine that some references were sexual. All this in a childrens book, I have to see for myself. I came across the book in Michael's after spotting some other children's books and thought, "I wonder if they have Alice." After going through the display - there was my book.
Up to now I'm in the rabbit hole and an itty bitty Alice was talking to a rat and some birds who were swimming in her tears from when she was a giant. I don't even remember this part. So far this chapter seems a bit redundant with her going back and forth from being little and big. I probably skipped it as a child.

Well, this was one of the stories that my parental units never let me read as a child. Don't know why... I think it does have something to do with the state of intoxication that the authors were under when they wrote it!! :)
Those letters are really annoying, but spam in your blog is worse...
In one scene a catapillar is smoking a hookah - water pipe - bong. Both my parents were teachers - my mom an English - so I know she knew what was going on in that book. As a kid I didn't know what a hookah/water pipe was, I just knew he was smoking a pipe and my father smoked a pipe in my ealier years. I will report more.
