Do you remember that EPIC WIN?

This is a new weekly update about all the excellent things from our youth that were infinitely cooler then anything else ever in the history of time. Or at least that’s what we thought. So, in the first ever weekly installment…

Naughty Stories for Good Boys and Girls.

These stories were full of win. Packed with gruesome stories of farting and picking boogers, my year 5 teacher Mr. V had us in stitches at story time.  If you never read one your childhood was probably spent crying in the cupboard unaware of how hilarious bodily functions could be. I pity you.

The series consists of 13 sets of short stories published by Milne Books in 2000 with the first book in the series winning the Young Australian Best Book Award.

Why it’s a Nostalgia WIN

For one thing, it was Australian, not American like Sesame Street or British like our good friend Harry but pure, true blue, put-a-shrimp-on-the-barbie Aussie. Secondly, Naughty Stories for Good Boys and Girls was nothing like any other book our teachers would ever let us read – not that we wanted to read anyway. It was crude and made us feel dangerous; so while we sat in the corner laughing our heads off reading about ghouls and pranks and swear words, poor old Sally two shoes and her lost puppy remained in the cupboard under a fine layer of neglected book dust with the other boring morals.
