jesus… this goes on my head on a daily basis…
fun fact, samuel l jackson was a black panther
I was a Black Panther back in the 60’s, those days were a blur.
I listened to an interview with the author on NPR’s tell me more yesterday. This is awesome.
I can’t wait to have a kid and do this shit every night. GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP MUVAFUKAAAAAAAAA!
WIN!
So fukn true…omg
Happy Father’s Day!
Played this for my boy at bedtime last night. Sure enough, three minutes and he went the fuck to sleep!
That’s awesome, lol.
this gets a million times better every time i watch it…
i swear who ever wrote these books was inside my brain
oh god… so good

Lol, just got this book from a friend of ours…definitely a good read :tup: (we have a 9 month old)
Kid’s response: Get the fuck out of my room!
Father, oh father, why are you so mad?
I’m just a little kid—I’m not trying to be bad
Yet every night, you cuss under your breath
It’s almost as if you think that I’m deaf
Yes, I get it, your life has so changed
But that’s no reason to start acting deranged
1 out of 3 kids doesn’t live with a dad
Now I know why—some fathers are pathetic and sad
I know you welcomed me into your life
After carefree coitus with your career-minded wife
Now you’re both exhausted and seem only to argue
Is it my fault? Really, what should I do?
Here’s an idea: Relax and have a beer
And let me solve our little problem by being the man here
Did you know that I’ll fall asleep 40 percent faster
If you create a bedtime routine that I can master?
Didn’t think so, and there’s another benefit I’ll cite
With a routine, I’ll sleep an extra hour each night
And if I shut my eyes nightly for 10 hours of peace
Research shows I’m much less likely to wind up obese
Experts also say you should read to me 30 minutes a pop
Yet after just one little book you can’t wait to stop
If it bores you that much, I’ll give you a tip
Just make it up, the words you can skip
This all boosts my vocabulary and word knowledge
Which someday may help me score a scholarship to college
Now let’s talk about when I want to color and swing
Why is it you can’t stop all that goddamned texting?
The brainiacs say if you pay attention to me
I’m likely to be less violent when I hit puberty
Yet you don’t quite grasp the concept of play, I infer
Maybe I should tell Mom what’s on your web browser
If you want me to stop crying, then let’s lose the ’tude
And go outside—studies say exercise improves my mood
Please straighten up, Dad, and get your head out of your ass
My young and innocent years just aren’t going to last
I can’t take care of myself, so I must look to you
Now man up and sack up—you know what to do
Give me a kiss and bid me “Good night!”
And think about how you can make this thing right
’Cuz if forever you’re going to be chock-full of gloom
You’d might as well just get the f**k out of my room
That’s all fine and good, but try sticking to it when you are drunk all the time.
I love and hate the poem.
Love it because I feel like the good guy, but hate it because it’s the truth of so many families.
LOL this review on amazon:
"To this small book I can relate.
For many nights do parents wait
Until angelic tots are sleeping,
When after endless bouts of weeping,
Or running wild and restless rolling
When no amount of Mom’s cajoling,
Or bribes, or threats, warm milk or juice
Or even smacks on the caboose,
Can get those f#cking eyes shut tight
So Mom and Dad can play at night. "
QFT.
i read the book at barnes and nobles before i heard about the samuel l. jackson audio. awesome.
