When Ella was younger, she always asked me to read books to her before bedtime. But sometimes she would fall asleep halfway through the reading. But it never mattered where I had left off when she nodded off - when I picked up the book again before bed, she always wanted me to read it “from the beginning". Sure this worked with Dr. Seuss and Biscuit books...they were short and easy to breeze through (I would even skip words, paragraphs or pages to crunch the bedtime ritual because she couldn't read yet and had no idea what was I doing and I wanted to go watch my shows. Hehe...nice move, Mom!). But when she would request starting over after several times with a children’s Bible, I knew we’d never get past the baby in the basket. It was literally “in the beginning…” over and over and again....
PS. More than 9-years later and we still never finished the Bible. Obviously.
