I've been hearing about this book for a few days now ...perhaps because it's buzzing & I'm on the internet 24/7, but when I first saw it & read about it I thought, "IS this appropriate for kids?" Being that I don't have any kids, I don't have any first hand experience and therefore, no expert on the subject. So who cares?
But when I stumbled upon it again, tonight, narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, I had to give it a listen.
And let me tell you ...it was my first really great laugh in 3 days. and I needed it
So maybe it's not for the kiddos. Maybe it's for the adults of said kiddos? ...but regardless who it's for, Jackson's rendition of it is pretty. f*cking. hilarious.
1:52, 2:11, 2:33, 2:51, 3:43 & 5:24 are my particular favorites

Haha that was brilliant!
I read about this in news some time ago but Samuel L Jackson doing an audio for it is just amazing :)
So funny...definitely not suitable for kids!
xx
Um, I might just have to listen to this every night before I go to bed;) The way the eff word rolls off Sammy's tongue...makes it sound so nice:)
Good Gawd - a friend sent me an e-mail of this a few weeks ago because she knows we have been having issues getting the Boyz in the Hood to sleep for coming up on a FUCKING YEAR NOW. Scarlett goes to bed like a charm, but the other two knuckleheads? Not so much. When The Hubs and I read this we were DYING, I tell you. I will have to go back and watch the Samuel L. Jackson version, because I am sure it will be superfly T.N.T., if you catch my Pulp Fictiony reference.
This damn book was DEFINITELY written by a survivor.
mwah!

LOL that is brilliant! And the fact that it 's ready by SLJ is even better!
That is GENIUS!!! I have two kids and I am a SINGLE Mommy and Lord have mercy you have just made my day by posting that!! Thank you!! Ha-ha-ha Sleep - precious sleep!
HILARIOUS! I know my parents felt this way because I would always try to sneak into their rooms because I was too scared to sleep by myself. Now I realize how truly annoying that would be!
i read this book a few weeks and was snorting (quite literally) with laughter. it's hilarious and since then i've passed it on to some moms, for their own entertainment.
Lol Maegan - It's a book for adults! The dude wrote it cos he was getting frustrated at putting his kids to sleep lol.
Ah...all the things you WISH you could say to your kid. I remember those days. And not with fondness. This book is a crack up.
I watched that video last night and couldn't stop laughing. It's the best story ever.
ahaha! oh my gosh, I'm so listening to this during the kids' nap time today! we love our kids like crazy but this is exactly what my husband and i wanna say to our kids some nights! ;)
I HAVE to repost this to my FB page!
LOL! I posted about this book today too. But anyway yeah its hilarious because its soooooooo true
hahahaha I have to show this to my fiance! Great!

This is exactly what I am *thinking* when I put my son to bed some nights. Love it!
I love this book! I told a friend of mine that the next time they can't sleep to call me and I'd read it to them in my best Samuel L. Jackson voice! :P For anyone with kids, although it's just a joke, we all know kids pop out of bed when you least expect them to. lol
So funny my boyfriend actually was watching this last night on youtube!
Your blog is so amazing! I'm glad I "bumped into it"!you always have such cute outfits (and home decor and other things) I love your blog! I pretty much follow it daily (ok, now I just sound like a stalker :D)
I finally listened to it last night. It couldn't be more perfect for parents. I laughed numerous times throughout. The book is great, but Samuel L. Jackson is THE SHIT.
ahhh! i love this, since i read about it a few weeks ago before the narration and the narration just made it that much funnier.
Do you want a signed copy of it?? Im going ot meet he authors and get a few signed copies on July 7th in Brooklyn. Lemme know.
Oh my goodness. Haha. Thanks for sharing.
There is no better narrator for this than Samuel L. Of course, I'm still thinking about him reading it on a plane full of snakes...
i saw this in the bookstore and did a double take before i started cracking up in the aisle! love it!!
