The Strangest Story

I'm an avid reader. I have been since I was a kid. Every night, I read to Drew and Brad before bed. I had to work last night so my mom was kind enough to put the boys to bed and read them a story. She was telling me about it today--a book she bought in the children's section of a bookstore called Baaa by David Macaulay. I hadn't read it yet but she was telling me how weird it is. Naturally, this piqued my curiosity and I had no choice but to read it. I was a little surprised that it's a "children's" book. It deals with overpopulation, heirarchy of society, government, etc. A little heavy for small children but for some reason, I can't stop thinking about it.
