        There’s certainly going to be a lot of interpretations of “blow” and, subsequently, taking frustrated statements of “fuck” literally

      As someone who got irrationally angry at Amelia Bedelia as a kid, I really wish this was a real book. An adult version where she gets properly called out on her bullshit would be absolutely cathartic to read.

        Damn you too? I was like 8 years old thinking to myself, here we have an asshole, who is clearly inept, and yet her reputation never suffers.

          I know, right? The whole reason why she was such a big fuckup to begin with was because she was surrounded by enablers! Even my prepubescent self knew there were no good people in those books.
