Dy's post made me think of a funny conversation BoyBob had with a friend last week. They were laughing over how silly it is when (each) mom can't finish reading a story aloud because she's crying.
BoyBob: Yeah, she always makes me read the end. I had to read the end of Rascal, and Little House, and Old Yeller--even The House at Pooh Corner.
FriendBob: Pooh CORNER? What was THAT worth crying about?
They spent at least 5 minutes trying to remember. But they will never understand, not until they have their own boys leaving their little-boyhood to becom Big Boys. Moms just can't help themselves.

Oh Patty- I am ROFL - since motherhood, I have never gone all the way through the last chapter in one piece. Not once. Can't. Do it. And it's just getting worse - now I start to choke up when I read the title of the last chapter.
The boys' conversations are so cute. I love seeing how they figure out the world around them.

Oh, Patty! My true kindred spirit.
OF COURSE the mom cries at the end of Pooh.
