bumble-ardy. maurice sendak. (116)



i requested "bumble-ardy" thanks to that google doodle for maurice sendak's birthday and after reading realized google should have had bumble-ardy as the doodle because he shares the same birthday as maurice sendak!

so i remember reading about "bumble-ardy" because it has a dark beginning and a bunch of closed minded parents were upset by the prologue.  and of course, the prologue was my favorite!  so in the prologue, we learn that poor bumble-ardy had never had a birthday party, until he was nine.  the reason being that his family did not allow for fun so he never had a birthday party.  however, his family got fat and then slaughtered.  this is where people get upset but i mean they are pigs and we do slaughter them, so not sure why people were in an uproar.  also parents die, it sad but it's true.

back to the story. bumble-ardy finally had a party because his aunt (who adopted him) celebrated his birthday and bumble-ardy felt he could have a party. 

when his aunt went to work, bumble-ardy threw a party.  it got wild and out of control.  

his aunt came home and of course is outrage.  i mean check out her threat below:


and that was to pigs!! talk about harsh!

but just like life, though his aunt was angry, it did not mean that she stopped loving bumble-ardy.  i bet a lot of kids sadly think that their parents love them less when they make mistakes but their love doesn't falter, as seen below:


another story of sedak's that lets us know our family will loves us regardless of how reckless we can get in life.
