I Was Sick, And Very Sleepy

Anna: Tell me a story.

Neal: No.

Anna: Fine, I'll tell one to me.

Neal: Can I hear?

Anna: Once upon a time there was a little girl named Little Red Riding Hood. She wanted to visit her grandmother, so she got in a boat with a Butcher, a Baker, and a Candlestick Maker and they all rowed to America.

Neal: Wow.

Anna: But then they got stopped at Ellis Island and they couldn't get into the country because the Baker had smallpox. So Little Red Riding Hood decided to swim to Florida. Then she got eaten by a shark and lived in his belly for two years.

Neal: That's not... science.

Anna: Until Jonas came to take her place. The shark spit her out in Africa, because he had swum there. And Little Red Riding Hood wanted to get home, but she was racist and didn't want to ask any Africans for help. So she walked home, and it took a long time. The end. And when she grew up she became a botanist.

Neal: ...

Neal: I want to be a ro-botanist.
