    The funny thing is that I’ve read it to him several times in the past. He just finally understood it well enough to do a double take and think “wait a minute, that seems like a terrible thing to do!”

    Can’t wait until my son is old enough that I can say “go hang out with your friends for a few hours” without being irresponsible.
