For the past month, the kids have been demanding that i read them their favourite stories from Richard Scary’s Fairy Tales. They love ‘The Gingerbread Man’, ‘3 Little Pigs’, ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and their current favourite is ‘Goldilocks and the 3 Bears’.
I wonder how many times i have read the story and sometimes, in one night, more than once. I tried to hint to the kids that mummy is sleepy and tired. So i decided when Goldilocks fell asleep on the Baby Bear’s bed, Mummy will pretend to sleep as well. But of course, my little Linn will not allow it. She shook me and shouted ‘Mummy, you are not Goldilocks, you cannot go to sleep’. With that, she forced me to finish the story.
The joys of motherhood.
