Subversion and Redemption

This was one of the most enjoyable things I've read all semester for ENC 2135. I really liked the topic of changing a "Children's Book" to something crude for adults. When you grow up you lose the idea of reading for fun a lot and it's nice to see that parents could have something to relate to. I agree that just by using swear words something automatically becomes more crude, I can not imagine my mom reading "GTFTS" because she cringes even when I accidentally slip words like "shit." I have never really thought of the fact live television often can't account for slip ups in swearing or provocative but accidental nakedness until reading this. I think it was a good idea the author created a child friendly version of the book because as a babysitter nothing is more frustrating then a toddler not going to bed when they were supposed to have fallen asleep hours ago. The author brings up a good point that by showing the children a side of their parents they do not always get to see they may sympathize for them (even if it is just for that one night).
