    Agreed, leaksqueeky712. Will Alice grow up to write children’s books?

    In my opinion, a lot of books would be better if everybody got pie at the end.

    Great. I WAS gonna go see Alice in Wonderland this weekend, but there’s no way it’s going to be better than Alice’s version so why bother.

    Can you all imagine Alice, Ruthie & Calvin on the same field trip? Toss in Zack, the criminal for good measure! Whoa!

    If you take out the bit about the helicopter chase, she’s not too far off. (Of course, Alice doesn’t really become a queen until “Through the Looking Glass”.)

    I don’t remember rabies in “Winnie the Pooh”, but there WAS that time Piglet had trichinosis (just the 24-hour kind)…

    Re cigars: The name of the first was Dutch Masters (not Dutch master’s). The box had a group picture of prosperous Dutch burghers. The line about picking me up was from the Muriel commercial.

    Sounds like Alice is ready for “Sense and Sensibility and Zombies”.

    DirtyDragon, you’re conflating “Pride & Prejudice & Zombies” and “Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters.” The first is highly enjoyable, but I’ve heard that the second is a far inferior work.

    Alice’s version is closer to the original than Tim Burton’s …

    Considering the only mammal in “Winnie the Pooh” was Christopher Robin (everyone else being stuffed animals, and even they knew it), I assume he’s the one who got rabies? Given her recent fascination with the subject, I’m surprised she didn’t work a WereTigger into the story…

    It was probably Kanga and Roo who had the rabies, not Piglet.

    Destiny23, I think Rabbit was supposed to be a real rabbit, and Owl was a real owl. (I could be wrong.) Birds can’t get rabies, but that still leaves Rabbit. (Rabies/Rabbit? Could this be a simple mishearing on Alice’s part?) Of course, if it WAS Rabbit then myxomatosis would be more likely.

    I think she’s citing the movie version, not the book. And I’m pretty sure I saw an live-action Pooh Corner episode called “Christopher Robin gets Tularemia”.

    I might have the title wrong…

    Oh yeah, I think I remember that one. It was subtitled “Winnie the Pooh and the Very Special Episode”, right? Pity they didn’t get an Emmy nomination; you could tell that’s what they were shooting for.

    BPM, Alice is not a terribly reliable reporter of what other people say to her. She once found a piece of bamboo; Miss Bliss told her that bamboo can be made into fishing poles, and that pandas love to eat it. Alice came away convinced that pandas love to go fishing.
