The Dangers of Reading Aloud

If the book you are reading is laugh out loud funny, and you feel compelled to read aloud the parts that make you laugh out loud, some in your house may feel you are reading out loud too much.  But the real risk is that someone may feel you are reading too slow or leaving out other good parts, and when you lay your book down they will pick it up and start reading it to themselves.  And then they will be laughing out loud and reading you the really funny parts.  And if you happen to be in the shower when they leave for school, your book may end up in a backpack inaccessible to you for they rest of the day. 
Don't say I didn't warn you.
