Dr. Seuss is a genre-breaker

I decided to sort the Kinglet's bookshelf into types of books - as opposed to size, like it always has been - so we could start addressing some of the talking-points in reading/literacy educational standards... for example, "this is a picture book, this is fiction, this is non-fiction, this is a poem

Sizzling and streaming comments to which I cannot reply is all well and good, but the fact remains that an elderly man who toys at friendship with a 15-year-old girl over the internet is behaving inappropriate at best. Factor in that she is *my* fifteen-year-old niece and you have crossed a line that, out of respect for our long-acquaintance, you ought notta. Out of respect for general decency, you ought notta. Shame on you.

I don't have friendships with 15-year olds. Had you simply told me who she was, I would have taken her off friends. As is, as I presume the message told you, all friends show as removed on Livejournal except those poetry journals. My reaction was to your assumption. If we wish to at some time resume friendship it should be in the future. I think you know why I'm upset in particular; if not my cousin actually did that sort of thing with his own daughter nonetheless--fortunately he was not/is not legally my brother. I am not fond right now of the fact that I am fond of you, that rather makes me more angry. Leave it, Lady, okay?
