Had A Bad Day?

I have.
To start off, I was absolutely angry. First I got angry because I had to get up multiple times to get my lunch, then my dog Mylo wanted to play and almost destroyed everything near me on the sofa, and I wanted to scream and throw things in all directions, like The Incredible Hulk in a bad mood.

And then, I got into heaps of trouble during wind down time. I looked into someone else's window when I wasn't meant to, I tripped over a stick and almost screamed in public, and then I threw too much paper on the floor for Mylo to play with and I had to clean everything up - and I thought I was being punished for causing trouble.

I'm turning into Horrid Henry!

So, I told Mum everything about my horrid day, and she said these two words of wisdom which you probably know already:

1. Spend 5 minutes in your room when you're about to fly into a rage.
2. Ask yourself if you're being logical or illogical.

Now, would you try these techniques yourself when you have a bad day?

The good news is: thank god it's over. I thought I was going to die in my sleep, thank heavens I made it out of yesterday alive. With a few painful bumps on my head, which I'm going to rid by washing my face.

I'm going to need a breather...

Better Luck Next Time, Gil!: The Butcher Boy On Greed & Jealousy

The first story in Grizzly Tales: Toy Time Tinkers is absolutely chilling. Just enough to make your spine freeze into ice, because it's the gruesome fable of a boy who wants every single thing in the world that all of his friends at school had, but then an evil son of a butcher comes along to teach him a lesson. And what's that lesson you ask? Well, P.D. Grizzly didn't tell you anyway. I can. Listen carefully:

The Butcher Boy actually delivers a warning message of greed and jealousy, plus a wise message on spending money wisely. If you've read the book Money Ninja before, you have heard absolutely nothing. Gilbert is jealous because everyone else at school has, unsurprisingly, enough pocket money to buy some very expensive toys, which he tries to compete against by buying his own.

Now, before Gill actually met Chuck and his creepy, blood-soaked family in the animated version, throughout the episode there is a repetitive image of a butcher carving some meat violently with a bloodied cleaver. This is a cleverly vile representation of the 'Three Strikes & You're Out' warning, as every time this image is shown, the Knucklebones fiercely and secretly give Gilbert a few strikes before he is given his punishment, something that would leave him meeting his fate at the hands of Chuck and his sinister, meat-cutting family.

In my opinion, I think what Gilbert should've done to avoid this horrid punishment is keep a collection of notebooks which are wish lists on what he wants to get someday, and spend his money wisely on little things instead of big things, such as: a bar of chocolate, or a small toy, or a magazine or comic, which is what all kids his age buy with pocket money.

And that's what everyone desired to do after reading this cold, blood-stained tale. What about you?

In The Air For A Great British Bear!

Do you recognise this bear? He has transformed over the majority of the years - traditional hand drawn animation, horrid CGI....now, he's about to become part of something much, much greater. Not a marmalade sandwich nationwide competition, but something else.

I Hate Her Majesty's Moley!

You know what? I'm absolutely not bothered about reviewing Her Majesty's Moley. Not only is its depiction of cruelty to animals brutal and shocking, but it also depicts Mattie, the main character, as annoying and spoilt, wanting everything her own way, including her beloved 'Moley' back.

So, to free you from this horridly unsettling story, I suggest on behalf of Buckingham Palace that you listen to this song instead.
