I'm looking for a children's book, I read to my son back in about 1988. I thought the name was "the hurt", but I can't find that anywhere on the net. It's about a little boy who got in a fight w/ his friend, and was keeping all the hurt inside. His father teaches him to talk about his feelings by putting all the hurts into a bubble and send it out the window. Repeated throughout the book is the names the boys called each other... "crooked eyed creep and pig faced punk"
