“Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?”

To set the tone: imagine I was your witty literalist friend

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

Define… childhood

noun

  1. the state of being a child.

Ok…. So what is a child?

noun

  1. a young human being below the age of puberty or below the legal age of majority.

Ok… so what is puberty? (Yes I know what it is but I’ve already started….

Noun

1. the period during which adolescents reach sexual maturity and become capable of reproduction.


If you can’t tell… my impulse is to answer questions literally… so I had to define my parameters…. I’m not exactly sure when I hit puberty… but I’ll use age 12 as a general guideline.

In the spirit of specificity to the original question:

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

Yes.


Ohhhhhhh! You wanted to know what it was.

Ok. I shall tell you.

Before the age of 3… probably not goodnight moon… but if we are talking all childhood… it has to be a tie between The Horse and His Boy (mentioned in a prior post) and The Courtship of Princess Leia

I am a giant nerd.. after all.

I won’t ruin it for you…. But sufficient to say…. It involves Han Solo competing with the affections of another man for the hand of Princess Leia. It’s good. There are Amazonian force users, Terrifying tortuous witches, a Handsome Prince, and of course an Imperial Warlord.

It’s good stuff
