So my job has kept me out of the kitchen for over a week now and it's driving me crazy! Despite not being able to Cook I always try to make time for my family. Tonight I was reading a bed time story to my two wonderful little princesses when we came across this page in Dr. Seuss's One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish:

We took a look.
We saw a Nook.
On his head
he had a hook.
On his hook
he had a book.
On his book
was "How to Cook."

We saw him sit
and try to cook.
He took a look
at the book on the hook.

But a Nook can't read,
so a Nook can't cook.
SO...
what good to a Nook is hook cook book?

~Dr. Seuss's One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

About the time I got these two pages out of my mouth my 3 year old shot up out of bed and said, "Like Daddy's cook books!" and my 5 year old followed directly after with a "Yeah, like all of Daddy's cookbooks! You have a lot of Cook Books like a Nook Daddy!". Well, what can I say, I blushed and we all giggled. Of course I hope they are referencing the first stanza about a Nook having a book and not the third one where a Nook can't cook :) We love you even more now Dr. Seuss :)

Kids do say the funniest things and always when you least expect it. It's always fun to step out of the kitchen and enjoy the life around you.

What funny bedtime stories do you have? Either reading or being read to?
