Some may say that Captain Hook is even meaner than The Grinch. Here’s the Captain on a parade at The Magic Kingdom in Disney World. Here’s the captain’s philosophy as to why parents read stories to children.
“No, child, Your mother wants to read to you every night in order to stupefy to sleep, so that she and daddy could sit down for three measly minutes without you. And you mindless, inexhaustible, unstoppable, repetitive, and nagging demands: He took my toy! She hit my bear! I want a potty! I want a cookie! I want to stay up! I want, I want, I want, me, me, me, me, mine, mine, mine, mine, now, now, now, now! Can’t you understand, child? They tell you stories to shut you up.”
