kid wanted me to read him a bedtime story, but he was snuggled against me so I wasn't able to go to his room to get a book. Ended up reading him the only thing in arm's reach, which was a 1000+-page collection of Poe stories & poems. He fell asleep smiling to "The Telltale Heart," and if that doesn't prove he's my kid... #life
