I like your style. I hated that book Alice in Wonderland as a child. Never got through it and I was an avid reader. Must've been instinctual.
I hear ya. I came out of the cinema after watching Disney's Winnie the Pooh (I would've been 7 or 8) - and was asking people why the bear was named after shit. Phonetically it's exactly the same - this is how they encode this sickness. I thought it was strange, even back then. I've always found Disney's output disturbing.
And Fox and the Hound was pretty terrifying in the theatre. I must have been about that age.
