That year whenever I was having kind of a rough day and it was noticed, someone always found a way to get close and whisper/sing “Shut your fucking face uncle fucker” and I’d start to laugh.

    Funny story with this. So about two years ago, my mom was spending the week at my house. I had a smart tv, which will automatically switch from Netflix to UA-cam if I decide to connect my phone to it.
    Anyways, my mom didn't know I had a smart tv. Well one night I decided to go to bed early, but I couldn't sleep because she was binge watching "Once Upon A Time ", up until 11 or so. I'm not a night owl. So I decided to send her a "divine message". Using my phone, I casted this very video to my tv. Her reaction was priceless. She said, "F you, Netflix, let me watch my show. " XD

    I have a granddaughter who is 2. I call her Miss Blues in the Night. That child WILL NOT SLEEP! So, when I heard this I thought I was going to rupture my aorta! I was beyond the laughing-so- hard-I'm-crying emoji; I don't think there's a word for how this struck me. Funny just doesn't cover it. I live in an apartment building. I had to stuff a pillow in my mouth so as to not disturb my neighbors. I'm old and hardly sleep myself.
    God bless Adam Mansbach and the irreplaceable Samuel L. Jackson for their incredible work. It is a piece of perfection that every single parent needs to hear. The line containing the self-recrimination was so apt. Every good parent wonders if they're any good at parenting. When, at 3am, weary from the preceding 20 hours and your child has gotten up for the sixth time since 8pm, you look into that haggard face staring back from the mirror and wonder: am I a crap parent?. At that moment, I wish for every single parent to hear this brilliant poem and perfect recitation. Empathy and humor are cleverly blended within the poem and spoken to perfection by Mr. Jackson. The best antidote for child-refuses-to-sleep-stressed-out-parent blues.🎉

      And a children's version of Go The Fuck to Sleep called "Seriously, Just Go to Sleep" which changes stuff like the whole "I know you're not thirsty, that's bullshit stop lying" line to "I know you're not thirsty. You just had a drink. Stop goofing around now, and sleep."

    I can honestly say this story is relatable. The agony, the despair, and the feeling of defeat. As a child I was forced to read my father bedtime stories every single night. All I wanted to do is go the f*ck to sleep.😔😢

    Yeesh! You can tell the author was under major stress when he wrote this. Well, his daughter WAS only two at the time and I heard that most kids at that age still have no concept of time.

    Parents: *complaining that the book is inappropriate*
    The rest of us: can you have some sense and not read it to kids? I’d think it’s pretty obvious it’s meant as a laugh for mature adults, not meant to be read aloud.
