My Least Favorite Story

Some kids' stories are so much fun to read, even if you've read them together too many times to count. Others... well, not so much. One of Kellan's favorite stories these days is the one about the Gingerbread Boy. Not only does he like to read it, but he likes to act it out as well.

He asks me to chase him around while he shouts, "Can't catch me! I'm the Gingerbread Man!" This game has gotten old very quickly. Now he likes to say this and run away when I try to get him dressed for school or in the bath or even when it's time to sit and eat.

I don't mean to sound like a grouch, but I don't like the Gingerbread Man! It's a silly story with a silly character and a silly ending. As a matter of fact, I don't even like gingerbread.

Does your child have a favorite story that you aren't crazy about?
