Tonight I read this to Miss M. At one point on this page I almost choked. Read it out loud, I dare you, and see if you can tell what few words stuck in my mind and made me feel a bit grubby…
Is that the worst line in a kid’s book ever?
Let’s read it again but take away one letter.
“What happened to you?” Tigger cried when he caught sight of a very gooey Poo.
THAT IS WHAT WAS IN MY HEAD WHEN I READ TO MY 3 YEAR OLD.
Diahorrea.
Thanks a lot Disney. No really, that was great.
I have this image in my head of Pooh replying:
“Eeyore took a great big dump on me Tigger. The blumming old git of a donkey I’m going to dunk his toothbrush in a cow pat.”
Seriously, whoever wrote that had no thought for the parents who would have to utter those words completely straight faced. Tsk. They should know better.
(Snigger.)
P.S. Fun Monday folks and blog lovelies, I will catch up soon but tonight I have to sleep as my throat is very sore and I was up nearly all last night with a coughing Miss M. Just so you know I haven’t forgotten you. Thanks for all the comments and hopefully I will have catch up time tomorrow. My post tomorrow will also show you just HOW tired I was this morning, oh the embarrassment. Rosie, if you’re reading say nothing okay? All will be revealed. Hee hee.
Ha! I think you should add your line to the story. It would make it more interesting!
*snerk*
I was laughing so hard I had to read your post out to a friend.
Ah, bless Pooh. It is much talked about in our house as it’s the only time Pickle is allowed to talk about ‘pooh’, so she does. Lots. And Lots.
someone should alert disney that *you’re* reading these stories…
i did have to read on because i already take issue with having pooh as a pet. and i *have* taught QOH to say winnie the “poooooooh” (in a very naughty way). it’s best that way.
oh i so laughed at this. good one dahling!
I could have gone all night NOT thinking about that. Ugh. Funny though!
Hee hee hee!
I just giggled out loud. I’ll never think about ole Winnie the same ever again, I just know it. =P
Ewww, gooey pooh…the sad thing is, you had to repeat it for me to get it. D’oh!
LOL gooey pooh……yeah….that is a good one…or a bad one….or just plain STINKY!
feel better soon. I have a sore thoat too…..ummmm summer colds Stink….like gooey pooh!
Ha! Everytime hubby sees Winnie the Pooh runners on kids, he wants to tell them they “have pooh on their shoes”. Luckily, I’m around to keep him from doing just that.
Winnie is near and dear to my heart, as he’s named after my city, Winnipeg (where the original bear’s owner, a Canadian soldier was from).
Why the heck Milne added the Pooh, is beyond me…
Gross
That reminds me of Roger de Courcy the ventriloquist and his Nookie Bear.
Nookie Bear asked him: “Do you know why he’s called Pooh?”
“No.”
“Because he smells.”
Made me laugh at the time.
Lori, it so would, hee hee.
Thalia’s child, it’s just the worst line yet so funny.
Picklesmum, Pooh is a common topuc here too. Cough.
Holl, so Queen of Hearts needs to teach Miss E that. It wold be so funny.
BelleV, I’m sorry, but some things you just have to share right?
Kim, you mean you’ve never thought of Pooh and poo? Come on, I know you. ;D
Lilacspecs, but you got there in the end sweetie. It just shoes you’re mind isn’t corrupted my kids who are obsessed with all things potty related YET.
Corey, very stinky, and hope you get better soon hon.
Maureen, I don’t get why Milne had to add the Pooh either. It must have been some kind of revenge on parents. I love his book though.
Frog in the Field, yep.
Dumdad, it made me laugh now. Is that a bad thing??
