   Reminds me of one “Calvin and Hobbes” where Calvin wants “Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie” read to him, which his father disagrees until he finally reads it, but differently where Huey’s decapitated.

   Alice will need to make up her own bedtime stories. On the bad side she could stay up for hours in a creative fugue.

   Or Charlie Brown could read her a bed time story. ‘A man was born, he lived and he died. The end.’
   Whereupon Lucy demanded, "What’s on the rest of these pages, advertising?’

    Madeline has handled this crisis with admirable resolve. Giving in to Alice’s ever-increasing demands would send the wrong message, as well as exhausting motherly resources!

    Our daughter wanted us to scratch her back and they we’d say, “Don’t be scared of bees and spiders and don’t be scared and don’t be scared.” and then she could go to sleep.

    Einstein had, what, 4-5 major papers? Richard Thompson comes up with a work of genius 7 times a week.
