Not a children's story...

[JustinB]

I just got done reading to my daughter before she went to bed and this came to me. Not my style at all but just an image that I wanted to get down.

Picture this: you're, say, 8 years old. Your mom (mother of the year) decides to leave you and your little sister home alone in a storm. So you two are sitting there minding your business when all of a sudden a 6-foot-tall Man-Cat kicks in the door. He's not there to rob you- it's much, much worse. He wants to play a game (a la Jigsaw from Saw 1 thru 17). Fortunately he cleans up before he leaves but not before leaving you and your sister in need of a lifetime of therapy.

It sounds like a nightmare to me but I guess if you rhyme all the words it's a sure-fire classic.


"I know some good games we could play" said the cat.
"I know some new tricks" said the cat in the hat.
"A lot of good tricks- I will show them to you.
Your mother will not mind at all if I do...."

I always thought there was a subtle horror hidden in Dr. Seuss. "The Ten Happy Fingers of Doctor Terwilliger" is a good example. But then, I also think clowns are creepy.

Looks like the The Cat in the Hat and The Grinch had a child, pictured here.

Thing One and Thing Two also had a baby which they called SomeThing Fishy, also pictured in this scene.

The paternity test is being handled by Maury Povich.

He's the cat in the hat there's no doubt about that.
A mighty fine cat at that.
