Chocolate Cake

On most nights at our house, bedtime is usually preceded by storytime.  Sometimes Mommy reads a book.  Sometimes Daddy reads a book.  Sometimes Daddy tires of reading the same books over and over again, so he makes up his own story instead.  Other times, instead of using his own ideas, Daddy turns to classic comedy for inspiration.  Remember Bill Cosby's infamous stand-up routine with the bit about giving his kids chocolate cake for breakfast?  If not, CLICK HERE to refresh your memory.  It is hilarious and not possible to watch without falling into fits of laughter. 

I am not sure why Heath decided to tell the chocolate cake story to our kids that night, but it has become a favorite.  I hear it several times a day now as Jacob and Annabelle tell and retell it to each other, adding their own little touches.  Parts of it remind me of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  No matter who is telling or who is listening, the story always ends with a roar of giggles.  


And not to be outdone by her brother..........
