While reading Ray his bedtime story from his 'A hatful of Seuss' book, we read Dr. Seuss's sleep book. This is one i've actually never read before and I thought I'd read alot of Seuss (Hell, I'll be 38 soon...thats alot of years to read Seuss) So anyway, if you havent read this yet either, its a book that starts off with the littlest bug yawning. It spreads until everyone is falling asleep (including Big Ray in the rocking chair behind us as we read!) and then we got to the Moose and the Goose. By the time I had finished reading the 2 pages about the Moose & the Goose, I was laughing and little Ray was saying "what mommy?" (this kind of humor still eludes him somewhat..he gets so focused, its cute (someday my little sweety pea, you will read this again and giggle your little heart out!). So, here are those 2 pages for your giggling pleasure. I think Seuss should be a reading daily requirement for all adults
(for extra fun, see how fast you can read it without messing up)
A moose is asleep
He is dreaming of moose drinks
A goose is asleep
He is dreaming of goose drinks
That's well and good when a moose dreams of moose juice.
and nothing goes wrong when a goose dreams of goose juice.
But it isnt too good when a moose and a goose
Start dreaming they're drinking the other one's juice.
Moose juice, not goose juice, is juice for a moose.
And goose juice, not moose juice, is juice for a goose.
So, when goose gets a mouthful of juices of moose's
and moose gets a mouthful of juices of goose's,
They always fall out of their beds screaming screams
SO.....
I'm warning you now! never drink in your dreams.
I never read that before either. I love Seuss.
