Alice: My daddy said he'd come read to our class! Miss Bliss: Im glad, Alice! Alice: He reads the paper every day. It's great! Sometimes he yells at it and balls it up in a wad! Alice: Once he wadded it up and stuffed it in his mouth and he chewed it up like this AARGH AARGH AARGH like he was a monster. Alice: So it might not be safe for us all to be in the same room when he reads. Miss Bliss: I'lll give your dad a call.
