From an interview in ContactMusic:
“I often slip into costume as the lead character in whatever bedtime story I am reading… This is a little weird because my daughters love Disney princesses. But you would be surprised at how good I look in a ball gown.”

Now, that’s dedication. How many fathers out there would cross dress for their daughters? Sadly, not too many.

OK, maybe not sadly. It’s a nice gesture that Adam would do that for his girls, but I have to wonder if he’s not using his daughters as an excuse to wear women’s clothes. If he wants to wear a ball gown, hey, there’s nothing wrong with that, either. Just own it.

I am going to have to say, however, that I just got a mental image of Adam Sandler in a ball gown and it wasn’t as pretty as advertised. At all.

In order of popularity, here are the books that put kids to bed in 2008:

1. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle 

2. Mr. Men by Roger Hargreaves 

3. The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson 

4. Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne 

5. Aliens Love Underpants by Claire Freedman & Ben Cort 

6. Thomas and Friends from The Railway Series by Rev. W. Awdry 

7. The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame 

8. What a Noisy Pinky Ponk! by Andrew Davenport 

9. Charlie and Lola by Lauren Child

10. Goldilocks and the Three Bears by Robert Southey

I have no objections to anything on the list (though I have always liked the premise of the Thomas books much more than the actual stories), but I must admit I was disappointed that the Skippyjon Jones books didn't make the list. Apparently, Spanish-speaking Siamese kitties are just so 2006.

What do you read your kids before bed?
