A Request from Brooks

Last night, when Brooks should have been sleeping, he found some books that he hasn't read in a long time.  He asked me if I would read him the stories.  I told him that I would in the morning.  He said, "Read the book as soon as you wake up.  Don't wash any dishes or talk to anyone on the phone, just read the book."  Ok, sir!  It wasn't fun for me to hear him summarize what I do!  I really don't talk on the phone very much, so I'm not for sure why he said that.  And, there is nothing I dread more than washing dishes.  I'd pick reading him a book over doing the dishes any day of the week.
