My Future Hobbits

I'm going to read to My Future Kids every night. Not those stupid books though. Sure, I'll read them fairy tales, but I'll read them the good versions. The ones that I would like to read. I'm not going to waste my time reading dumb books with simple sentence structure when I could be reading things that I want to read. That's what Father did for me, and I think it turned out pretty okay. I don't remember most of it, but I still remember parts of The Hobbit, but it could just be because I tried reading it myself afterwards. And I still remember one scene from what I have come to believe was the Wizard of Earthsea books. So maybe it wasn't super effective, but still, not bad, eh? I think I will intersperse more shorter, one-night stories in amongst the multi-chapter ventures. I'll read them all the old stories straight from the Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Anderson. When I was a kid, I was all over that stuff. I'll sneak in The Little Prince a couple of times because I love it so much. I think maybe before they are old enough to question my authority, I'll also read it to them in the original French. I don't think it will do anything for them, so I don't really know why I would do it, but I guess there's no real reason not to, so screw you.
I don't know if reading to My Future Kids will make them smarter or more attached to me or have a better vocabulary or what, but I think it would be a good thing to do anyway. I know the studies say that only my income will have any real effect on the success of My Future Kids, but I don't really give a shit. I was about to make some kind of anti-science remark, but really I'm all over this science shit. I just think that science doesn't know as much as it would like to think and I'm not about to not do something that I feel is important just because a study says that it has no effect. As long as there isn't anything to say that what I want to do isn't going to be very harmful, I'm going to do whatever the hell I want.
I'm going to read My Future Kids all the books that I really like and all the books that I wished I had the time to read earlier. My Future Kids are going to be cultured, man. I'll just need to be careful about which books I want to get in before they're too old to be patient enough for me to read to them. X number of years seems like a long time, but at a chapter a day, a book could take a month or so. I guess that's still a lot of books, and there's always the younger of My Future Kids in case there are more books I want to read.
