"Go The Fuck To Sleep" anyone? http://boingboing.net/201...sleep.html This is going to be my default gift for my friends who have kids. Go the Fuck To Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send a toddler sailing off to dreamland. Honest, profane, and affectionate, Adam Mansbach's verses and Ricardo Cortés' illustrations perfectly capture the familiar--and unspoken--tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night, and open up a conversation about parenting in the process. Beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny, Go the Fuck to Sleep is a perfect gift for parents new, old, or expectant. Here is a sample verse: The cats nestle close to their kittens now. The lambs have laid down with the sheep. You're cozy and warm in your bed, my dear Please go the fuck to sleep. | |

heheh imo, if it had a teensy little tranquilizer dart gun embedded on the inside bookcover it'd be perfect. i'm glad the cover isn't too nasty for kids. the word f0K might eventually prompt questions from the little ones, though | |

Just sayin. | |

Sounds like a book written by an ex-friend of mine Proverbs 23:9 | |
