Reading is Fun or Mental?

WEEK 21
Raegan read that it's never too early to start reading to the baby. While I would be happy to read Al Franken's latest to get the little one started on the right path, Raegan insists I read children's books, exclusively. According to her, the baby will enjoy hearing my voice.

Do you?
Do I what?
Enjoy hearing my voice.
Well, no. Not really.
That's what I'm saying. The less exposure to my voice, the better off the baby will be.
What's the matter with you?
Hold on. How does the baby even know what a voice is?
What do you mean?
Well, has it ever seen anybody talking?
But the book says...
Has the baby ever talked?
I don't think you're taking the right approach...
So how is it supposed to know that when a human being moves his or her mouth around that it makes a sound comes out that communicates meaning to other people?
Somehow, I don't think that's the issue here.
It doesn't even know what other people are! As far as it knows, the world is a dark, cramped place with only room for one.
Not unlike mine, Steve. Not unlike mine.
