Carolyn loves the Little Critter books. They're about this boy, a nondescript little critter, who hangs out with his parents, goes to bed, takes a bath. You know. Kid stuff.
Well, Carolyn's recent favorite, which we got from the library, is about little critter going on a shopping trip with his mom, little sister and a baby. The little sister, clearly 2 years old and Carolyn's Holden Caulfield, is being a tiny bit difficult. She runs away. She knocks down paper towel towers. She's demanding and naughty.
Anyhow, in the book, the little sister asks for all kinds of stuff. Cake. A kitty. Dolls. Mom, the bastard that she is, always says no.
Well, Steve caught Carolyn reading the book to herself. Her version went something like this:
Kitty? Yes.
Doll? Yes.
Clearly, I had been reading it wrong.
