"Since Beverly Cleary is from the olden days, when they had typewriters..."

[Disney1fan2002]

That is a direct quote from my 9yo DS. He is reading Beverly Cleary, and could not figure out, if she is from the "olden days" because she used a typewriter, how can she know about the YMCA and Cub scouts???

Tell him she was the world's first den mother.

Back when Cub Scouts used to wear loin cloths instead of blue shirts.

yeah, it wasn't the Cub Scouts then, it was the Cave Scouts

I wonder what they did for their survival badge? You'd think they woulda had it mastered from birth.

i loved beverly cleary when i was a kid, now my daughter reads the books. i happened to notice a copy of "fifteen" at a library sale and bought it. i read it again for the first time in about 30 years-MY LORD! could be reprinted with the title "dating-a girl's guide to being a doormat". glad the library decided to dump that one!

does anyone read the "junie b. jones" books?-the child "i tell you" is the ramona quimby for the modern day 1st grader the books are a kick-pick one up and you will die laughing!
