Carl's Christmas

I promised Ashlee I would write a post on the most disturbing children's book ever written.  That book would be Carl's Christmas.  Now those not familiar with the Carl storyline should know that Carl is a dog.  His owners just happen to be the worst parents ever.  Let's take a look at Carl's Christmas...

In case it's too small to read it, it says, "We're going to Grandma's and then to church.  Take good care of the baby, Carl."

What in the world? Who leaves their child at home on Christmas Eve with a rottweiler?? And don't even try to think that Carl is a very good baby sitter.  He and the baby go out on the town, in the snow, together.  The baby is literally riding on his back down Main Street and no one bats an eye.  They meet Santa Claus but it doesn't do any good since he doesn't call CPS.

So if any of you are feeling a little unconfident about your parenting skills, at least you can take heart that you're better than these two!
