Nighttime story time

Herding three kids to all listen to a story is impossible. Here is a sampling of the normal evening...

Step 1..."Do you want to read a story?" They usually sit down when we first give them their nightime milk.


Step 2. Joe walks away....it could have been any of the kids, just happened to be Joe this time. I think Charlie has the book at this point. See lower right.
Step 3. Joe comes back, but Charlie is gone. And he has the book.

Step 4. Daddy gets the book back. Charlie is ticked off. Let's try the story with two kids.
Step 5. Joe wanted to hold the book, so we end up with the story with one kid...
Good night.
