My son brought home a book for me to read to him...
I figured I'd share. It's very short.
The Really Ugly Duckling.
Once upon a time there was a mother duck and a father duck who had seven baby ducklings. The seventh was a really ugly duckling.
Everyone used to say, "What a nice looking bunch of ducklings- all except that one. Boy, he's really ugly." The really ugly duckling heard these people, but he didn't care. He knew that one day he would probably grow up to be a swan and be bigger and look better than anything and everything in the pond.
Well, as it turned out, he was just a really ugly duckling. And he grew up to be a really ugly duck.
THE END.
(It's from The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka & Lane Smith)
I totally love my kid. He's absolutely wicked. I laughed so hard I had tears coming. The picture was priceless too.
