(It was Friday evening and Dad was in a sparky mood. Empty beer bottles and Dad's pals fought for space around the table. When I looked in, Dad gave me a funny, boozy smile.)
I made a trip to D.I. to drop off some items. While I was there I decided to look at some books. My sweet little Eyrlin picked up this book titled "My Dad" and asked if she could have it. I, of course, said yes and threw it in the cart, it was a dollar.
Tonight after family home evening we bust open the bag of books and begin our reading. Eyrlin grabbed her ONE little book that she wanted and said, "Mom, read this one."
"Ok." and I began to read. "It was Friday evening and dad was in a sparky mood Empty bee-e-e-bottles and Dad's pals fought for space around the table. When I looked in Dad gave me a funny, boo-oo-bly smile." I don't know what was worse a boobly smile or a boozy smile, I wasn't quick on the thinking OK!!
I could not believe the words on the page. I turned to John and showed him what it said and he just started laughing, "Nice book babe."
So I talk the kids into another book that we bought. It was Napoleon. Open the book and there were naked man and lady drawings AND it was all written in Spanish. Closed the book and told my kids we couldn't read tonight.
I don't know what happened today at the D.I., but apparently D.I. doesn't mean everything is G rated, that's Foshizzle!!!

Oh my goodness Kathy! That is hilarious! Can you even believe someone would write a book about their dad drinking with their buddies? Somebody must have written that in therapy or something. So, are you taking them back to the D.I.?
That is so very funny! You need to keep that book and read it to your kids so they can see the different kinds of daddies there are out there and they'll appreciate their Dad much more!
I love books with surprise text inside. Oh you get so much more than you bargained for...
Ha ha ha! Gotta love it!
So funny. I can totally see myself doing that. We love to grab armfuls of Good Will books and buy them without looking too closely. Heck, there might be some in my house about boozy boobley dads. I should go look:)
I love DI. But that, well that just makes me laugh. You have to look into what you're buying. Come on now!! LOL LOL
from DI?! sheesh, apparently I had the same thought...it would be censored or something?!? lol too funny though.
Niiiiice. Good job on the pickin' out of books! Funny. I thought everything at D.I. was censored too though! Guess we all learned a valuable lesson from you! :)
Sooooo worth the money! Love it
Very funny. Lovely. Once I bought a book about Jesus & began reading it to my boys, and realized it was teaching them all about the 'trinity godhead'. yeah...i just sat there. what to do?
Awesome! I love Alli's idea. You've got to turn that into a lesson somehow.
