and the good mums? find the time to read said helpful books, half a paragraph at a time, at the Spielplatz and sometimes, sometimes, to shit in a state that almost approaches peace, and not grunt – yes, you are a good king – grunt – OKAY YOU CAN BE A QUEEN TOO! – grunt, grunt- YES I AM COMING – grunt – NO THE QUEEN DOESN’T NEED TO SIT ON A CHAIR ON THE TABLE TO KILL THE MONSTER – look I’ll be done in a minute – oh, for fuck’s sake – grunt – NO EVEN IF SHE IS A BAD QUEEN SHE DOESN’T NEED TO TAKE THE WASHING POWDER INTO THE BEDROOM! TELL THE BAD QUEEN THAT’S NAUGHTY! When I am done shitting I am gonna banish that bad queen to some kingdom where there’s no washing powder I’m telling you that for nothing
