Family story time

One of the big new activities in the Rowson household is "Family Story Time." Family Story Time is when we all crowd onto Beckett's bed and try to read a story without letting Ayla roll off onto the floor. This particular night we were reading "The Night Ones," which is the tale of several women and minorities cheerfully accepting their lowly, third-shift stations in life. (Look! "Cap" works at the docks! "Honey" is a baker! This guy's a janitor and the other guy, why he's a hotel doorman! Yeahhh!)

Hey, the real world's going to come at them fast...might as well get the kids acclimated to a life of service-sector wage slavery early on, no?
