If you thought that Roald Dahl’s children’s books were deliciously gruesome (and they are), wait until you see what he has in store for the adults. In Kiss Kiss, Dahl combines horror and comedy to give us eleven memorable short stories. He obviously delights in making his readers feel as uneasy as possible right before pulling the rug out from under them, grinning at the shocked look on our faces. As a teacher, I get to experience some of this joy myself. I am currently teaching this collection to a group of sixteen-year-old students, and every week, I get to watch them as they slowly realise what is going on in each story. One by one, they all suddenly turn to me and go: “Ooohhhhhhh! Oh God, that’s terrible!”
[ID: Digital, colored art of Thalia, Percy and Nico from Percy Jackson, all facing away from the viewer. The background is dark gray.
Percy is stood in-between the other two, with both his arms over their shoulders. Thalia is turned to Percy slightly, so you can see some of her face, and she is grinning. She is holding a spear in one hand and resting the other hand on Percy’s back. They are all wearing varsity jackets with handmade patches on the back.
Thalia’s is cyan with yellow sleeves, rolled up to her elbows. The patches on her back are yellow and say “Zeus”, and she has one beneath that shows a storm cloud with lighting.
Percy’s is blue with lighter blue sleeves. The patches on his back are light blue and say “Poseidon”, and he has one beneath that shows a trident.
Nico’s is black with white sleeves. The patches on his back are white and say “Hades”, and he has one beneath that shows a skull.
There are small lightning bolts drawn around Thalia, hearts around Percy, and starbursts around Nico. /End ID]
Mom Tip: When my Hubby and I agreed that it was time to start training our pretty preteen Daughter in all of the basics of lovemaking and the joys of discovering her sexuality as her loving Mother I took the responsibility for the first year of giving her lessons. She and I started with all of the simple things that provide the strong foundation for beautiful lovemaking. Kissing was the first lesson that I started teaching her. Many times the pure joys of erotic kissing is overlooked by lovers that are in a rush to move to the more dynamic parts of lovemaking. Take your time to learn the variety of kissing techniques and the fun of tongue playing and lip sucking. Kissing can also be used all over the body. Our Daughter has several very sensitive erogenous zones that would be impossible to know until I kissed her entire body. She gets covered in goosebumps when I kiss behind her left knee cap, the bottom of her right butt cheek and the left side of her neck. Kissing those spots on her rockets her passion level up quickly! Take time and teach your children proper kissing, it’s a lifetime skill! ♥️❤️
