 * Xion: *opens the book and reads from it* "The Very Hungry Caterpillar. By Eric Carle."
 * Baby Bruce: *smiles as he listens*
 * Xion: *flips the page and reads from it* "In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf."
 * Baby Bruce: Ooh.
 * Xion: *flips the page and reads from it* "One Sunday morning, the warm sun came up and-pop!-out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar."
 * Baby Bruce: *smiles* Aww.
 * Xion: *flips the page and reads from it* "He started to look for some food."
 * Baby Bruce: Ooh!
 * Xion: *flips the page and reads from it* "On Monday, he ate threw one apple, but he was still hungry."
 * Baby Bruce: *snickers* Rweminds me of Daddy and me. We're always hungwry.
 * Xion: *giggles* No doubt that's why Uncle Jaden got you the book and toy.
 * Baby Bruce: ...! Hey! Thewe's a hole in the book!
