CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS

Like most children, my 11-year-old step-son, Cory, hated homework. The disturbing prospect of having to read sent him into a state of gloom and despair. One day, after reading Chapter Four (consisting of only four pages!), in his A&R (accelerated reader) book, he looked at me and said: "I've finished. How much more do you want me to read?" I said: "You really hate reading don't you?" "I like reading Captain Underpants," he replied.
