Reading Rainbow

The rampage is over. My visitor has arrived and now I'm just tired. I have no fight left. I have a good book though and it takes most of my free time. I love good reads. The book is "A Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore. I found it at Half Price Books. The same place that Kale's world was complete when he got a blue gumball from the gumball machine.

Kale looked at my book and the cover has a baby "Death" in a bassinet type stroller. Not really kid material. He said "oh, a baby pirate". Yup, a baby pirate. "I can read!" he says. "Okay, here I'll read...I say "You killed her," Charlie screamed as he stormed by the racks of CDs toward the man in mint. He drew the sword as he ran, or tried to, hoping to bring it out in a single fluid movement from the cane sheath and across the throat of Rachel's killer..."... he lost interest and turned back towards Oswald on Noggin. I don't blame him. Hey, they say "Read to your child 15 minutes a day" they don't say what to read.

It's late and I'm off to read my baby pirate book.
