      There’s a Swedish children’s book that I wish would get translated into English. It’s about a little girl born and raised in a cult, and it depicts the actual harm caused to the children, and also her journey of questioning authority and evaluating the trustworthiness of information. I think a lot of Swedish children’s literature is way darker than what I find in English, but they always have amazing lessons and are very empowering to balance it out.

        I’m Danish, so I suspect our children’s media isn’t so dissimilar in that respect. As an aside, I find it hilarious that Wikipedia lists it as an ‘adult’ movie.

        What’s the title of it, if I might ask?

      You’re terrible at riffing. You’re supposed to say something that builds on the joke, not something that kills all the humour in it.

    I also love how they are frogs and the change in environment could hypothetically change their gender in this process.
