Did I share the link to the Children’s Book, Go The Fuck To Sleep on here? Well, if not, I’ll just assume that most of you already know about this book that’s actually written for the parents of small children with that title. It’s just a little poem written about the hardships of trying to… well, get your small kid to go the fuck to sleep.
Anyway, in a move of pure awesomeness, it seems Audible thought that Samuel L Jackson should read the audio book version.
I liked his delivery. I’m sure that it hits home more if you’ve got kids, but I’m selfish and cruel, so it made me laugh.
Best way I found to control my eldest was when she was about 6 or 7 and we were stood out in the back yard.
I just shouted at her…..fuck it! I’ll do it as a script!
Jamie-Leigh: General yawping and whinging and refusing to go to bed.
Me: [VERY LOUDLY] “Get to bed right now or you’ll end up like Josephine!”
Jam: [Slight Pause] “Who’s Josephine”
Me: “It was your older sister”
Jam: “What older sister? Where is she now”
Me: “Well….she stopped doing as she was told, and had to be punished”
Jam: “What happened to her”
Me: “She’s at the bottom of the pond, sleeping with the fishes”
Jam: “Really!?”
Me: “Yes. Now are you going to bed or what!”
Jam: “Night Dad”She believed me about Josephine for a few months after that….The threat of “You’ll be sleeping with the fishes!” or “Do you want to join Josephine” was enough to keep her in line……then somebody (Grrndmother I believe) told her I was lying. She didn’t approve of that method of parenting…
….and then, they dragged the pond and found her….Okay. I made that bit up!
