Actually, I only watched the first 3 minutes of the show.. I have to admit that I am assuming that after the six minutes it takes for the planes, nuclear reactors, and rabid house cats to destroy most of the planet, earth will more than likely flourish.. Right?<br /><br />And hey, thanks to all of you good folks who are reading to your kids!!!

No matter what other book I try to read, it's always Elmo. I'm sick of that red monster at this point.<br /><br />http://northjerseydad.blogspot.com My son is only 2 so our nighttime reading consists of lots and lots of Elmo.

Check out this 430 am poltergiest!:<br /><br />A midwestern fmaily snuggled away in bed last night expecting a rain storm to pass pass was awakened by a 5 Rick Scale earthquake? I had stayed up late enough to listen to the avalanche beat the wild 3-2 in the cup playoffs, but not to listen to 22 innings of rockies and padres, but if I had - about one hour later the kids come down befuddled on the shaking house! We live in a 100 + year old farm house at the top of a hill that seems like the devil was rising out of the basement (hand laid stone walls down there where the snakes and mice can enter very easily not to mentio the sump pumped frog pool)! We almost all went to bed and fell back to sleep after walking out side to see and listen (my son and i took a whiz in the grass with the dog)<br /><br />Very eventful, so tonights bed time reading will be an earthquake preparation guide for the future...

Have you tried Tim Cahill?<br />(Jaguars Ripped My Flesh, Pecked to Death By Ducks, etc)<br /><br />In the same vein - funny, informative. The Cahill books are more chapter-centric, though - better for reading to people (in short bursts) at night?? Aha! You have read it, then! Have you tried Tim Cahill?

This meant we had to read all the Baum books, which I could stomach. But then my husband printed off the screenplay, and my daughter insisted we read that. I finally broke down one night and said I was not enjoying reading the stage directions, so the spent the next day or so highlighting them to indicate parts we could skip. <br /><br />What I'm saying is, be thankful he's not asking you to read BBC transcripts aloud.
