my cousin bought 3 three of those 'bum' books for christmas when i was 9 and i never even touched them. i remember also getting a lion king boardgame and a TMNT boardgame but the problem is i didn't have any friends to play them with and when i would ask my mother she would say she has chronic fatigue and is too tired to spend an hour playing a board game with me. i wish my dad didn't die, especially before i was born. thanks for reading my blog.

Those books are pretty great for young kids, I don't think there's anything wrong with toilet humour encouraging literacy. The "Just X" series by the same author are better though, the random doodles are brilliant.

Saw a stage production of this when the book was released. Was really good! Actually encouraged me to start reading.

>Sydney house prices being what they are

I'm hoping for WFH to go mainstream so that I can move into the country for much cheaper accommodation and just set up a home office for government work, Sydney is just impossible

I read this book when I was a kid, although it was the American and not the Aussie version.

It turns out that the butts were trying to stop a giant butt from outer space and a set of extremists who were trying to destroy all butts and replace them with synthetic butts. That is why they went psycho.

I always hated getting gifts growing up because no one has any clue what I even want. I don't want gifts from anyone. You're not going to get something I actually want so just get nothing. I don't need anything.
