You parents of littlies (and older ones) will certainly get this one:
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.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
Never had that problem,all our kids have been home schooled,so there was never any need to get them up early.They went to bed when they were ready,not when we were.We babysat our granddaughter last night - I went to bed at 1.00am and she was still awake.Her mother came to pick her up around 1.30 apparently.Kids not going to sleep is a parent problem,not a child problem.
But I like the book.
In and out of jobs, running free
Waging war with society

+1....................... except mine are public schooled, go to bed at a reasonable hour, fuck about as much as possible then eventually nod off to sleep... (11:45 the other night )... I'ev learned not to fight it, as it seems to add to the fire.

Reason: added bits
Yes, the TV got their titties in a tangle reporting it as a childrens book, then you see that PC riddled arse licking snot gobbling twat McCorskie on TV saying that it is innappropriate, the only fucking word he knows (he was the guy that made the big stink over the Rock win a wife thing, said it promoted child prostitution, reckon that cunt has been to a few in his time)
Aaaaaaannnyway, great read, really really funny and I can certainly recall many a moment like that when mini max was old enough to say 'bollocks'
I'd be a bit pissed off to see a pdf of a recently released book of mine being freely distributed on an Internet forum, especially when thanks to the efforts of some utterly pathetic PC morons I can't find many outlets to sell my book.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
