I read to Tom every night, sometimes Richard Scarry, sometimes Sandra Boynton, sometimes Mother Goose.  The last thing you'd think would get you in trouble would be Mother Goose.





Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater

Had a wife, but couldn't keep her

So he put her in a pumpkin shell

And there he kept her very wel--





"Um.  Hey, Tom?"

He looks up at me.

"Don't tell Mommy we read that one, OK?"
