☆ My children are having a better, more fun childhood than I did. I think I'm jealous.

Read previewA recent sleepover made me consider how different my childhood was compared to my children's. While my sleepovers were better than theirs, their experiences in other areas of their childhood seem much better. And while I'm happy they get to have those experiences, I'm also starting to get a little jealous. They don't have to spend hours at church like I didOf all the shared life experiences, church activity makes me the most envious. And it's nice to think that someday in the future, my oldest will be hesitant to let his kid mow the lawn, too.

LONDON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Roald Dahl's famous children's books including "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Matilda" will be published uncensored later this year said publisher Puffin, bowing to pressure after a public outcry over modernised versions. Puffin, which is part of United States-based publisher Penguin Random House, said on Friday that it would release 17 of Dahl's titles under its Penguin logo later this year, with his original text unchanged. "By making both Puffin and Penguin versions available, we are offering readers the choice to decide how they experience Roald Dahl's magical, marvellous stories," Penguin Random House Children's managing director Francesca Dow said in a statement. Dahl's stinging and quirky descriptions of the adult antagonists, like Miss Trunchbull in "Matilda", have delighted young readers for decades. Puffin publishes Dahl's works, including "James and the Giant Peach" and "The Witches" in partnership with the Roald Dahl Story Company.
☆ Words including 'fat,' 'ugly' and 'crazy' have been removed from Roald Dahl's books, but the publisher said the 'sharp-edged spirit' of the original text has been maintained

Language in the latest editions of some Roald Dahl books has been changed, The Telegraph reported. The Roald Dahl Story Company said the changes mean the books "can continue to be enjoyed by all." Roald Dahl, who died in 1990, is one of the most successful authors of all time. The Roald Dahl Story Company, which manages the copyright of Roald Dahl's books and collaborated with Puffin to update the texts, said that "the irreverence and sharp-edged spirit" of the original books had not been lost. Many of Roald Dahl's books have been turned into films or TV shows.
