You had better get together with you wife and get all the sounds straight before you start singing old MacDonald.

I used to call every animal a chicken when I read to my kids. I got a kick out of it. kj.

now that's mean. But I did something similar when I was about 9 and my sister was 4. I shoed her some resistors and told her they were capacitors. Then I showed her some real capacitors and told her those were transformers. and so on. then she proudly went to my dad and showed him what she learned. he started laughing and then when he realized what I did, he wasn't so happy anymore.

What really ticked off my kids was the accents I'd use. After the 1000th reading (or so it seemed) of The Cat In The Hat, it was all I could do to stay awake, so each character had their own voice. Then, the other books started getting theirs as well.

IIRC, the three fairies in Sleeping Beauty morphed from Flora, Fauna, and Meriwether to Harpo, Chico, and Groucho.

"Daddy, go away!" is my two year old's favorite phrase. It's Mommy time all the time right now.

[quote Drew]When I was a teenager, my father was an idiot. Somehow, the older I got the more wiser he became. Now I have kids, one a teenager, and am teetering on the verge of incompetence. But my father? Smartest man I've ever known.

Amazing how that happens so regularly, isn't it? .
