He comes home from work, before the game:

A: Addie pick Curious George? Yeah, Curious George, mama.
Me: Addie, do we read Curious George at bedtime?
A: Yeassss. Daddy say...um, no. No Curious George bedtime Mama. Duckies?
Me: Make Way for Ducklings? Yes, babe, that sounds good.
A: Okay, mama. Curious George at nap tomorrow? Okay, mama. Tomorrow.

Curious George and Make Way for Ducklings -- huge faves of mine as a kid!! Just curious: why DON'T you read Curious George at bedtime?
Curious George is just too long & she always want 2 CG stories. However, in hindsight MWFD is super long too.
