*tells Abby a bedtime storie*
Once there was a lonely little boy. He had no friends, no siblings, and no one to play with. His mother felt bad that he was always alone, but he refused to help her bake cookies or go out and meet other children.
One day, at breakfast, she noticed him looking at a magazine.
"Put that away and eat your pancakes," she said. But the boy seemed to not have heard her at all.
"Son," his father said, "Do as your mother asked." But the boy remained staring wide-eyed at the magazine, so his father reached over and took it from him.
