And now for something completely different. This one is credited to a brilliant writer by the name of [GM] Dave. Ok .. maybe he's not that brilliant, but I sure love the way he analyzes great literature. "As a lead up to the fan pack, I've decided to go with a special theme for the next few posts. That theme is the socio-economic influences that lead to disparages between people of different nations. I'm kidding. The theme this time is "What the Hell?" I dedicate this post to all those little things that are just too messed up to even think about. All those little moments that make you wonder if evolution is all it's cracked up to be. I was trying to decide on a theme when my wife suggested I read a book to our daughter. She handed me a book called "Love You Forever." Anyone who has read this book probably already knows where I'm going with this. The book starts out very sweetly. It's a mother telling her baby son how she'll love him forever. Hence the title. She goes through the usual trials that all parents experience, but through it all, she still loves her child. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. As he grows a little older, she still takes the time to go in his room each night and cuddle him. Isn't that sweet? She just loves her little boy so much that she sneaks in each night to tell him that she'll love him forever. I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living, My baby you'll be. My daughter smiled at this picture and I realized that this was a very nice book. Wait a second ... What the hell? This is where the book turned creepy. The mother continues to sneak into her son's room when he's a TEENAGER. A TEENAGER. She sneaks in, picks up her TEENAGE son, and cradles him. Yeah. But still, you could probably get past this. She just really loves her son and she likes to cuddle him while he sleeps. I guess that's not THAT creepy. Besides, just a few years later, the young boy becomes a man and moves away from home. Her boy grown up and living on the other side of town, the mother has to say goodbye to the child she loves. Or not. Yes, the book now shows a picture of the mother sitting in her son's bed and rocking him back and forth. Her grown son. What. The. Hell? And yes, that is an open window and a ladder in the background. Apparently, mothers are willing to do anything for their children. Including breaking and entering. What is wrong with this freakin' book? This is like the prequel for the movie "Psycho". This shit is creepy. But as weird as that last picture is, there's one that messes me up even worse. The next page shows a picture of the mother driving across town in the middle of the night with a ladder strapped to the roof of her car. Think about that. I .... I just .... There are no words. This little old lady ties a ladder to the roof of her car and then drives to her sons house to break in and rock him in his sleep. She even ties a red cloth on the back of the ladder. Wouldn't want to break traffic laws on your way to break into your son's house to possibly scar him forever. I just can't get this picture out of my head. Long after my daughter had toddled away to play, I sat there staring at this picture. That shit is frightening. You'd think this book wouldn't be very popular. Hell no. People LOVE this damned book. What the hell is wrong with people? This book is one page away from being an episode of CSI. And yet, this is one of the most highly recommended children's books in the world. I think this is actually number 7 on the list. Number 8 is "The Silence of the Lambs". I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, It puts the lotion on it's skin Or else it gets the hose again Tonight as you fall asleep, try not to think about your elderly mother creeping in through your window and cradling your unconscious body. Pleasant dreams. Posted by [GM] Dave ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~ |

foxy .. actually I first bought the book "Love You Forever" just before I had my first child, Christopher. I wrote a dedication to him on the inside front cover and gave it to him as a gift when he was born. I read it to him most every night before he went to sleep and it was considered "our story". Even to this day sometimes I pass him in the hallway at home and jokingly say .. "I love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." I suppose it creeps him out now too, lol - cause he was the one who called me downstairs to the computer last night and showed me Dave's post. Ok, ok .. I get the hint ... Anyways .. thought I'd share it here cause it does shed a completely different perspective on the story than was originally intended. Jeez, after reading this version, I wonder if it's ok to still cry at the end.  ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~

BTW .. the book got "lost" a few years back. Now I'm wondering if it was accidental or if it got taken to the garbage dump and incinerated.  ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~

I read what you have written and I liked it a lot,I like people who stalk consenting persons.I know of a creature in mythology who stalk sleeping men,I have read they like to cosy up and do something naughty.I think they are called the succubus.I would like a benevolent succubi to be beside me at times,l mean consenting succubi,I love reading such or similar stories.with love vinod 2725

evers .. I certainly never saw this side of it first time I read it either. But yeah, not everything is black and white - there are many shades of grey in between. If you scroll up one more post, you'll see another part to the Kat sequel just for you. ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~

Hi,Dear Isabella,It is emotional.Only a mother can understand it better te mother`s behaviour in this story.It is better to remain neutral.But they way I perceive it is both the love for the child and fear/insecurity about the child.Love explains cradling and sense of insecurity like something bad happenning to the child makes the mother drive upto her son to see him safe rather than only the urge to cradle him...regards....peatt

hey peatt ... how you doin? Thanks for checking out my blog! Yes, you are right .. the mother's behaviour in this story is very much emotionally motivated. The love between a parent and child is transcendental and sometimes there are really no explanations for why we do what we do. But this was really meant to be a lighter look at a very beautiful story. ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~

hey isaaa, Interesting read, somewhere while reading the story i could know that one must let go when its supposed to be, lest it becomes an obssession. hmmmmmmmmm nice read. keep smiling, smiling is never labelled obsessive i hope. regrds Rajinder

hey sensualll, well as you know I can't take the credit for this one ... but speaking from experience I can tell you it's very hard to let go when you're "supposed to". Love doesn't come with a "Best Before" date, and in most cases it just gets sweeter with time. As for the smiling part ... it's not obsessive, but in some cases it can be a little creepy. ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~

hey fast_am ... thanks for dropping in! This post was all about looking at something in more than one way. Sometimes even the most innocent and unassuming things can be twisted into something much darker. ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~ ♥ ~~~~
