Ham.

"Ham! Ham! Ham!" shouts Calvin — morning, noon, and night.

"Ughhhhhhhhhhh," says his mom in return.

Am I the only one who had fond memories of reading Dr. Seuss books as a child and couldn't wait to read them to my own kids but then once I did realized they are really long and quite annoying? Making this even worse, my child refuses to read one book and move on to the next...it's Green Eggs and Ham, and then Green Eggs and Ham again, and then maybe, if we're lucky, a round of Dr. Seuss' ABC before once again reading Green Eggs and Ham. And then we* have a tantrum because, SERIOUSLY, no. No more Green Eggs and Ham. ABC, fine. Ham, no.

I would not, could not in the dark.
I could not, would not in a park.
I DON'T LIKE THIS BOOK YOU SILLY MAN.**
I don't like it one bit, Sam-I-Am.


*By "we" I mean me.

*The silly man being Dr. Seuss, of course. Not Calvin. I love Calvin. Which is why I read him annoying books over and over and over again. I just wish he'd branch out...maybe to Fox in Socks. Or One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. Or Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections.
