A sweet little episode, ███ ███ ████ ████ ███ "██████ ██ ███, ███████!" █████. ███ █████████ has a mother who is a poet, and she writes extremely erotic, vulgar poems. When this friend was a little girl, she was in third grade, and her mother had just published a book called ████ ███████ ██ ████. The girl proudly told her teacher that her mom had published a book, and the teacher asked, "Well, bring it to me as a present." So, she took the book ████ ███ ██████ ███ ████████ ██ ███ too vulgar ██ ████ ██ ██ ████ ███████. Then, this little girl took a black marker and redacted out everything she thought was inappropriate. The book turned into a collection of censor bars, with almost nothing left, because she found everything obscene. But the brilliant part is that she nonetheless gave that fully redacted book to her teacher — as a present. \ No newline at end of file
