I learned from the mouse. In the book, if you give a mouse a cookie, he asks for a glass of milk. Then he asks for a straw for his milk. Then he needs a napkin to wipe his mouth. Then he needs to look in the mirror to make sure he doesn't have a milk mustache. Next, he asks for nail scissors to give his errant hairs a trim. You get the point. In my life, when I don't want to go to bed (which is to say every night), I ask for a book. Then another. Then a third. And a fourth. Then I want to start the whole process again. Because at the end of the book, the mouse was thirsty and he asked for a glass of milk. And you know what happens when he has a glass of milk!
