Actually, just months ago a close insider and friend of Melanie said Bombs on Monday was on the tracklist, along with a bunch of other titles. This was before Bombs on Monday and some of those titles were confirmed later. Melanie made a big deal about the titles being fake but then proof makes it seem like Melanie was trying to keep the tracklist a secret.
So maybe it was a part of the tracklist a bit ago?

Jose (dad) mentioned Bombs last spring/summer as being "for the album" but it was never mentioned again; just like she suddenly stopped performing You Love I in like June of last year. I think this is when her pursuit of the toy sound truly began and there was a sonic shift because she was originally aiming for a fall release of last year.
I think people suspected Bombs to make it when we had nearly every track title but 2-3 register on Warner-Chappell, and then some new ones like Soap and Tag popped up to plug the holes.
Whenever her unreleased songs start trickling out, it will be noticeable that there is an acoustic batch that were scrapped really early, then some Dead to Me/Bittersweet Tragedy-esque songs like You Love I and Bombs, and then stuff that sounds like it should have been on the album as it has the kiddie theme.
I just hope Where Do Babies Come From surfaces because that is the only one I really care about hearing because the Instagram teasers were soooo good.

Then the lying down portion of that shoot was used for the Sippy Cup cover.

Yeah, but that's not enough. The shoot is too pretty to just use it for promotion.
Sorry If I sound annoying, I just hate when there are no pictures (oft the artist) in the booklet.
And the fact that there is an actual official album photoshoot makes it worse.
I hope it at least leaks in full UHQ

Yea I get that. I wish she would separate the booklet from the story book. Like, the booklet would include lyrics and exclusive photos never before seen, then the story book could notably be different by having the cover a painted version of the album cover that's painted like the song illustrations. Or, the physical editions could have the story book as an actual hard cover book. It would be neat.

OMG! That's perfect.
When she said that she was releasing a storybook, I thought she was gonna do that.
It would have been amazing if she would've separated the storybook from the booklet, and made it a hardcover. But whatever, there's nothing she can do now.

Although the physical copy is actually really pretty.

It’s so important growing up to have people in your life who encourage your hobbies and your talents. My parents, brother, uncles, and best friend since kindergarten (Jackie) are those people for me. Without them I wouldn’t have known that I could write songs, make art and use those things to express myself. A Big thank you to my Grandma Lydia for being such an inspiration to me, as an artist and just a human being. Ron, Thank you for always pushing for me & my ideas, and for believing in me since the moment we met. Thank you to the best team ever, Debbie White, Jake Ottman, Craig Bruck, and Grant Pittman! Thank you to the producers and writers who co-wrote these songs with me. I appreciate you all for rolling with my ideas no matter how unconventional they were. Thank you Jeff for being more than an “A&R GUY” - Thank you for being a real friend and for actually believing in my vision and my music (and for always letting me crash on your couch). Thank you to Julie Greenwald, Craig Kallman, David Saslow and my entire Atlantic Records family. You guys are amazing and I’m so thankful for all of your support. Thank you to my OG TOUR FAMILY Mikey, Mike and Miles. Even if we ever have to split ways, you guys are stuck with me for life. After 3 Dollhouse Tours I basically lived with you boys and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to travel, and play music with such talented people. Thank you to anyone who made me cry, broke my heart, made me angry, or made me feel anything at all. You have made songwriting therapy for me. And last but not least thank you thank you thank you to my beautiful, crazy, talented, supportive, and AMAZING fans. You are all such an inspiration to me. You are the reason I work as hard as I do. You are the reason I am able to do what I love. I will always be real with you guys because I think it’s important that people realize artists are human beings and are not perfect Barbie dolls even though we’re in the spotlight. Sometimes I’m going to say things I don’t mean out of frustration and I apologize in advance. Just know that I love you guys for all your imperfections and I am just as flawed, if not more than the next human being. All of you are so unique and insane in the best way possible and I promise I will never take any of you for granted. You mean so much to me and I hope these songs make you cry, scream, laugh, go insane, and take your clothes off! This album is for anyone who feels like their heart is bigger than their body, and anyone who considers themself a bit of a cry baby.

The sound is supposed to be the mom pouring poison into the sippy cup, which she would use to make Cry Baby fall asleep after murdering the father.
And I'm not sure if I got a download yet. My mom receives the emails from the webstore, and I haven't been forwarded anything.

the single plan was Pity Party, Soap, and Sippy Cup, but I honestly believe there were much better options in the album. I know Pity Party was really only a lead because it was an honoring Lesley Gore thing, and I was ok with Sippy Cup considering its a Dollhouse sequel, but I still would have started the era with a different list tbh.
Okay actually ditch the above, I'm just gonna put what i would set as the full single list for the album because its more fun
blue = single | pink = promo single | orange = no official release / radio single only
1. Tag, You're It
2. Teddy Bear
3. Sippy Cup
4. Milk and Cookies
5. Mrs. Potato Head
6. Cry Baby
7. Mad Hatter
all songs get videos still tho
How would all of you put the singles as?

Or actually I change my mind 
That list I wrote down pretty sloppy and when I was tired, so I'll try again. This time I'll include outtakes that I would put as hypothetical rerelease singles in #9 onwards.
1. Alphabet Boy
2. Sippy Cup
3. Cake
4. Teddy Bear
5. Mrs Potato Head
6. Tag, You're It
7. Milk and Cookies
8. Cry Baby
9. Mad Hatter
10. Where Do Babies Come From?
11. Dear Porcupines
