He reads his little book and sometimes it is a novel; sometimes it is, you know, he is reading Kevin Hobbs and I am reading my Al Qaeda book. Donna meet that I have never – he had never seen me actually reading a book. I have read to the kids but I usually I do my reading late at night after all the kids are gone to bed. So, I thought it would be good for me to model that. Daddy Brad: I grew up a southern Baptist, I went to church and I heard the Preacher preached and Preacher use a alliteration and rhyming and consciences, and assonances, and all these things. My name is Sylvester Metmankey McBean and I heard of your troubles and I have heard unhappy but I can fix that. I am the fix it up choppy. There is none better than Dr. Seuss. Daddy 1: Charlie Parker played Be Bop. A lot of the just sort of a almost scouting like a lot of words chosen just for a rhythm, sound, and music. Afterwards we can listen to some Charlie Parker and talk about the dangers of heroin. Daddy Clay: When I do read to the little kids, I have one book that I really loved, it is called “Baloney Henry P. and it is by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith. It is funny because you get this little Martian guy and he is like in trouble because he is always late to school and is Miss Bugscuffle. She says Hhm! That is it. The Miss Bugscuffle. Permanent life long detention unless you have one good and very believable excuse. Well, I would have been exactly on time. That is my Henry voice. Well, I would have been exactly on time. Turning the book. I misplaced my Zimulus. Then I found it on my deski. I grab my Zimulus and jump out but I jump smack into the middle of a Rapso launch pad.
