Bedtime Stories

I was laying down with Emily, trying to pick out a book to read. The conversation went something like this:

Me:"How about 'Wocket in my Pocket?'"
Emily:"No way, Dad. That book creeps me out. What if there really is stuff hiding all over. The one that scares me the most is the one under the bed."

We finally settled on a book, "The Lorax" by Dr. Suess. As we were reading it, Lola (our dog) jumped up on the bed. Emily started joking with her about how she wished she had "disposable" thumbs and could read a book like we can.
