Did you

when babysitting my nephews and nieces they always got a bedtime story .. might not be one they liked but they got one ... i always read my own books at bedtime .. i had a reading age of 7yrs and 9 months at the age of 5!!!
 
You'll get one tonight, if you want it..."we have a realistic and costed plan to reduce the national debt". It's a bit far fetched, even for a fairy story, but you'll be sound asleep after you've heard it three times over. :rolleyes:
 
I got bedtimes stories as a youngster, and my two get bedtimes stories, not every night but they do get them.

We got that little gem as well. A mate of mine got 'Up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire, down Sheet Street and round Blanket Corner'

Ah, more innocent times...
 
Been attempting Wind in the Willows with a couple of my Grand kids when I'm babysitting, They might still be a bit young for it but I'm enjoying it.

They do ask for it though when I turn up so maybe I'll be able to read it again when they get a little older and can understand even more?

Basically Bedtime stories should be fun for all, if you're bored with it, the chances are so are they.

:)
 
Yes - I was read to when young and always read to my son at bedtime. I think the problem is that most kids have a TV in their room now and would rather watch that :(

oh ya will understand it eventually mate.:D
 
We didn't have such things as books in our house in Holland Street apart from those I used to get from the bookstand at St Andrew's School. I'd read all of them by the time I was ten.

I remember one in particular 'A Friend for Frances'. It was so lovely and I read it umpteen times.

My children had bed time stories and my daughter has followed it on with hers. Nothing nicer than a good book!

Who can we have for turd, erm I mean Toad? (Sorry Folks Borrowed Jaysays keyboard again), Hmmm Toad=a slash take of the ruling classes, Jaysay= well, we won't go that far on a child friendly site, but I wonder?

Jaysay, we've got a a superb position that has just opened up if you can stop playing with your new oxygen bottle for just a moment, (tsk, him and his crazes, last week it was chest infection, who knows what it will be next week).

Saffron doesn't now... she reads to herself. Rhys gets made up ones, he prefers them, normally when he is a superhero! Not sure if I got em, will have to ask my Mum
