Ear Candy

As a kid I loved deliciously scary books by authors like Roald Dahl and John Bellairs. And it seems that Sage inherited my delight in dark tales.

We've been reading Lemony Snicket's books, "A Series of Unfortunate Events." We're in the midst of book 5 (of 13) and loving every minute. It's always fun when you enjoy a book as much as your kiddo does.

Today in the car Sage quoted a bit for me from Book 3 (she's been listening to it non-stop during her quiet time):

"It was like the orphans were on a train that only stopped at stations of misery and horribleness."

That about sums up the experiences of the Baudelaire orphans, heroes of the series. Sounds miserable eh? It is...but it makes for a great time.
