Pop lets me turn the pages of the book and reads whatever page I land on. He's my kind of guy.

Great Aunty Cheryl sent an advent calendar. I don't let mom and dad forget to open a door or to let me eat the delicious chocolate, but I prefer to watch the door opening from a distance. Seriously, the thing is terrifying. Mom and Dad think I am super weird. Who is scared of a calendar they ask? Me. Maybe it's a little too much like that scary jack in the box they try to get me to play with.
