Dad: "Inside she saw three bowls of porridge. A big bowl, a medium bowl, and a small bowl. She was just about to taste the porridge when the three tigers came home." Dad: "They quickly divided Goldilocks into big, medium, and small pieces and dunked them in the porridge that..." Dad: Calvin, I'm not going to finish this! This is disgusting!! Dad: I don't know why I let you talk me into this. Good night! Calvin: He didn't even look at our illustrations. Hobbes: Now I'm all hungry.
