I finally got around to watching last week's episode of THE OFFICE.
I don't know whether to like this show or not. I feel like I'm laughing at real people. Every office stereotype represented on the show is related in my mind to a real person that I worked with at one time or another. The show is almost an existential play in the vein of Camus or Sartre.
Okay, enough overanalysis.
On this week's show, based around "Bring Your Daughter To Work Day", Office dweeb/hall monitor Dwight Shruete reads to the kids a story from "Strewwelpeter", a German book of morose kid's tales. A few years back I brought this up on our radio show and was amazed I wasn't the only kid who had long lasting nightmares on these politically incorrect tales of childhood warnings.
I can laugh at these stories now, but at the time, they scared the every loving crap out of me. This one scared me the worst of all, as I was a nail biter. But this one caused me the greatest anxiety.
Are their any storybooks you read as a kid that scared the crap out of you?
