Back into the hallway and finally through the small door.

"‘let’s all move one place on.’"

CLEAN CUP CLEAN UP EVERYBODY MOVE DOWNNN.

" I vote the young lady tells us a story.’"

Damn all these people in Wonderland demand stories out of Alice like its her job.

"‘Why should it?’ muttered the Hatter. ‘Does your watch
tell you what year it is?"

And now we have clocks (like apple watches) that definitely tell you what year it is.

"‘Have some wine,’ the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.
Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing
on it but tea. ‘I don’t see any wine,’ she remarked."

Hold up, Alice aren't you like a pre-teen at best? Too young for wine!

"‘Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the Cat: ‘we’re all mad here."

"still it had very long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt that it ought to be treated with respect."

After I saw the Tim Burton rendition of this cat I've been a tiny bit afraid of it. The one is the Disney version/the 1999 movie was funny and sassy and not the least bit scary.

I remember this pepper scene with the baby. I thought it was weird then and I still think it's weird now.

Omg this part of the movie here was so funny. The way they'd keep parroting back to each other "an invitation from The Queen to play croquet."

I think this pigeon thing is the only non-book to movie thing that doesn't exist. So far, the movie adaptations have all followed the book pretty closely.

"‘One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.’"

Me needing subtitles to hear everything these days I'd be like "what'd you say?" LOL

"‘Repeat, ‘you are old, Father William,‘ said the Caterpillar."

I kind of like this poem, its catchy and funny.

"her eyes immediately met those
of a large caterpillar, that was sitting on the top with its arms
folded, quietly smoking a long hookah, and taking not the
smallest notice of her or of anything else."

In the Disney version of this the caterpillar always freaked me out.

"Alice noticed with some surprise that the pebbles were
all turning into little cakes as they lay on the floor."

Why did these cakes in the movie also look good too? I want some little cakes now.

Burn the house to the ground! Lol I also remember this part of the movie really fondly.

"‘Sure, it’s an arm, yer honour!’ (He pronounced it ‘arum.’)"

I loved this part of the movie for no reason at all other than the fact that Pat seemed like the real deal.

"There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought!"

Alice breaking the fourth wall like.

"Luckily for Alice, the little magic bottle had now had its
full effect, and she grew no larger:"

I can literally picture the scene in the movie where Alice grows too big for the house.

"And Alice was so much frightened that she ran off at once in the
direction it pointed to, without trying to explain the mistake it had made."

Fictional Alice and I are one in the same. We don't want to be yelled at and we both appear to be people pleasers by nature.

You'd think Alice would know at this point to not mention her cat.

"‘Why,’ said the Dodo, ‘the best way to explain it is to do it.’"

Why is this me when people try to explain the rules of card games etc. lol

"‘As wet as ever,’ said Alice in a melancholy tone: ‘it doesn’t
seem to dry me at all.’"

1999 Alice was so moody/sulky when she said this line in the movie and can you really blame her?

"‘I am older than you, and must know better’; and this Alice would not allow without knowing how old it was, and, as the Lory positively
refused to tell its age, there was no more to be said."

I kind of love that Alice doesn't just give in to the notion that older people must know better simply cause of age. You go girl!

LOL @ Alice for putting her foot in her mouth with this mouse.

"she opened it, and found in it a very small cake, on
which the words ‘EAT ME’ were beautifully marked in currants. ‘Well, I’ll eat it,’ said Alice, ‘and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door; so, either way I’ll get into the garden, and I don’t care which happens."

Logic. Sound logic.

The cakes in the eat me box had absolutely no business looking that good. In the 1999 version every time she eats one I also want to eat one.

"She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she
very seldom followed it),"

LITERALLY ME.

"‘Come, there’s no use in crying like that!’ said Alice to
herself, rather sharply; ‘I advise you to leave off this minute!’ "

LOL I find that I also talk to myself in this way.

"‘No, I’ll look first,’
she said, ‘and see whether it’s marked ‘poison’ or not’;"

This literary version of myself is smart!

" Round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with
the words ‘DRINK ME’ beautifully printed on it in large
letters."

Not nearly as appetizing as the cookies but the label looking so pretty always made me want to drink this bottle.
