Matthew's favorite books change on a weekly basis or so, which is great because the 80 bazillionth time of "Marvin K Mooney" can begin to grate. His newest favorite is the Sharper Image catalog. As you can imagine, this is rather difficult to read in "story" form. The typical "story" goes as follows:
Once upon a time there was a robot that looked like a dinosaur. It cost THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS!!??? And no one in the land knew why such a catalog would be sent to our family, which cannot afford a $300 dinosaur toy! And then there was a pocket knife that glowed in the dark! Oh, you like that one? Sorry, little guy- no knives for you. And then there was a nose-hair trimmer. Does anyone actually get that as a Christmas gift? And then all the electronic gadgets lived happily ever after."
I really hope he chooses another favorite book soon. I don't think I'll ever malign Marvin K Mooney again!
