I'm glad you got Sandra Boynton in there. We read and reread those, especially The Going To Bed Book.
The moon is high, the sea is deep,
They rock
And rock
And rock
To sleep.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's some crazy Pigeon wants to drive a bus book that Kat's fond of. But you know how she is.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The other major theory is that HOF voters prefer guys who racked up the stats over 15 years, and Rice sort of fell off a cliff suddenly.
That's one thing that surprised me about the results. Bruce Sutter was third in the voting, despite only playing 12 years. He was a very good pitcher, and has very good numbers, but I expected him to be behind Goose, and even Lee Smith (although I think he was better than Smith).

Heh. My mom HATED Dr. Seuss books. She said her eyes would glaze over. However, she swallowed her hate when she saw how much we liked them and how useful they could be. Mind you, she only admitted her hate last year. Cracked me up.
She also has all my Carle books and then went and bought them all for my nephew, so I couldn't even do that!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
He likes Moo Baa La La La. He just likes La La La. It's his favorite part of Bobby McGhee. The La la la la la la la la la la la la Bobby McGhee...
And I'm a terrible singer, but I know the words.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think Bread and Jam for Frances might be my favorite book, if you measure by how often I refer to it in conversation. Not sure why.
Nilly, you can have my brain for the next couple of weeks -- I won't be needing it.
