In the children’s book 'Dirty Bertie' by David Roberts we see a sense of not belonging by the main character, a young boy aged around the age of 6 named Bertie who has shockingly dirty habits, from nose picking to weeing on the flowerbed, eating candy off the floor, and giving the dog a furry lick hello!. Whenever he does anything dirty, Bertie's family shouts, "No, Bertie! That's dirty Bertie!".
