Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 03, 2015
Transcript:
Dad: "What stry would you like tonight, Calvin?" Calvin: "Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie!" Dad: "Oh no, not AGAIN! That's what you hear EVERY night! Let's read something different" Calvin: "I WANT HAMSTER HUEY! I WANT HAMSTER HUEY!" Dad: "C'mon, we'll read a NEW story tonight. You'll like it, I promise" Calvin: "No I won't! I'll stay away until morning if you don't read hamster huey!" Hobbes: "I didn't remember hamster huey having quite that sarcastic tone of voice" Calvin: "Or doing everything so FAST"
Dad didn’t understand: repetitive reading of the same story is like a soothing balm to a kid.
