Here's what I would love for you to imagine.

Gather around, gather around.

I want you to imagine that one morning after breakfast, your mom gets your jacket on and helps your brothers and sisters get their coats on and then says to you, now, run out and play.

But don't forget you're not allowed in the neighbor's yard. Those are the people that killed your daddy and ate them. We always have an odd one in the crowd, so it's kind of odd. Excitedly odd. Isn't that strike you as a little bit odd? No, it doesn't strike me as a little bit odd. It's the Bob and Sherry Oddcast, with stuff we wouldn't, couldn't,

or shouldn't do on the regular show. Now, here's the Oddcast. If what I just said sounds dark

and twisted and insane to you, LOL, it's the beginning of a classic and beloved children's book. It's bedtime story here on The Oddcast. And in honor of

it being spring and Easter just around the corner, we have a special story for you. It's Beatrix

Potter's The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was first published way back when, my gosh, more than 120 years now in 1902.

And before we jump into the story, Max told me when I said, we're going to do The Tale of Peter Rabbit.

He's like, what happens in that? I don't know that story. I've heard of it, but I've never, I don't ever remember reading it as a kid or if I did.

I have no recollection of it at all.

Were you, and this is not, nobody take any offense to this.

If this did not happen in your childhood, were you read to as a child?

I was.

Was a bedtime story part of it?

Yes.

Not how old were you when that stopped, do you think?

20.

Sorry.

I don't know, maybe when I was about four.

That sounds about right to me too.

I vividly remember, I feel very lucky that I have this one memory.
