The whole story is centered around a father explaining to his children why it took him so long to go to the store and buy milk so that they could eat their cereal.
Its absolutely brilliant in the way that only Neil Gaiman can pull off. Also, the illustrations by Skottie Young (I hate Fairyland) are 👌.

TricksyTails 💙Gaiman💙 Love this and it's great on audio too! What's even better is listening to him read it live!!! 😍😍😍 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @TricksyTails I have a hard time with audio. I always forget I'm supposed to be paying attention. 😁 I'd like to try listening to Gaiman narrate something though. 😍 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @GrilledCheeseSamurai He narrates it and yes, I agree it all depends on a good narrator. 6y
TricksyTails Wait. You've never heard Gaiman narrate? ? We must fix this! I used to have a hard time with audio too. My mind would always wander but you get used to it and become a better "listener" the more you do it. I'm going to vote you start with something by Gaiman because he WILL hold your attention. He's phenomenal on audio. So no podcasts either? 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @TricksyTails I have to literally watch my podcasts. Even if they're just sitting around talking into mics. 😂 Is there an audio for Good Omens that Neil narrates? That's my next Gaiman re-read. 🤔 6y
TricksyTails Sadly, no, but the audio is very good! Also, BBC did a full cast adaptation with cameos from Gaiman and Pratchett. I reread Good Omens every year! Will you let me know, maybe I can read along with you? 6y
TricksyTails Also, have you listened to Hello, From the Magic Tavern? Funniest podcast! 6y
