Reading children's books CAN be fun. But that doesn't mean it WILL be fun

A sign at my ole school’s library says “Once you learn to read, you will forever be free.” That’s cute and pretty awesome at the same time.

HOLY SHIT. WHAT DID I JUST READ.
This book I’m studying Geronimo Stilton: The Phantom Of The Subway has the opening:
“I woke up with a start.
Pheew, It was only a dream! That’s right. I was safe and sound in my bed. My ears weren’t RINGING. But the phone was. I picked it up.
“Hello, Geronimo Stilton squeaking.”
I f'ing laughed, hard, at that last line. It took me for a complete spin. Now I know I’m in for a good read for the next ten minutes before the library kicks me out for making too much noise/gurgling sounds.
