Transcript:
Petey: Mom says I can read you the graphic novel I drew, "Andrew the Apathetic Ant." Alice: Oh boy! Petey: Andrew Ant lived in an anthill with 10,000 ants and lots of teeny weeny comic books. One day. Ant: Andrew! Let's go carry things ten times our size! Ant: No thanks. Petey: The next day... Ant: Andrew! There's some sugar outside! Ant: I'm not hungry. Petey: A day later - Ant: Andrew! I found a grease spot! Ant: Some other time. Petey: Then, on Thursday - Alice: Is this one of your stupid stories where nothing happens? You're trying to lull me into a stupor, aren't you? Petey: MOM! Mom: Alice! Behave, or it's Good Night Moon!

And they’ll probably read “Good Night Moon” in Christopher Walken’s voice… Ohhh scary boys and girls! “Stop scooching!”

“Then on Thursday the Prince drank a glass of water.” Petey, go read your story to Bert. He’ll appreciate it.

Couldn’t help but notice there’s something very familier about Andrew’s apathetic bedside behavior, Petey.

I like a good night moon as well, but something tells me that I am referring to something somewhat different than what Alice’s mother has in mind.

Or Petey can do the “Phantom” comics - it takes a week’s worth of strips just for the Phantom to get off his horse….

(YAWN) Alice has a point though….
