    • I'm Not Sleepy brings me back
    • Well this isn't a picture of the book I'm talking about, but it's the only one that popped up and I couldn't figure out how to answer without having a picture first.

      Anyways, when me and my brother Jeff were about 4 and 5 years old, we had this book called I'm Not Sleepy. It was about this little bear who kept making up excuses so he wouldn't have to go to sleep, and his mom kept saying "!Go to BED baby bear!" and he would say "But I'm not sleepy! Can I have a drink of water?" We loved this book and our mom would read it to us all the time.

      One day, we took an orange Magic Marker and did some creative editing. Since we were 4 and 5 years old, this consisted of changing each page so it said something along the lines of "But I'm not sleepy! Can I have a drink of water? TO MAK ME GO PEEPEE" or "But I'm not sleepy! Can I watch TV? AND I HAV DIURER" or "But I'm not sleepy! Will you read me a book? ABOWT POOP".

      The next time my mom read that book to us, she was like ... what the hell?
      I think I'm Not Sleepy (The Remix) is still probably at her house somewhere. I should look for that.
