Overheard

Remember how I said Uli's favorite story was Christmas for 10?  Last night I overheard this gem:


Justin (reading to Uli): "Five draw near,"
[picture of five children sitting at their grandma's feet]

Justin (reading to Uli): "Six stories to hear."
[grandma is reading one book, and there are five others stacked-up, waiting their turn]
  
Justin (aside, sweetly): "Aren't they lucky. I sure wish we had six stories to read instead of this same damn story over and over, again and again."


Hah! Made me giggle.

And yes, he read it to her several more times (and I've already read it to her twice this morning)
