I know the following story is

My husband took some time off work to drop by my son's Kindergarten class and be a "mystery reader" (basically, a parent shows up each day and reads the kids a book). He didn't know what to bring and in random desperation grabbed "The Giving Tree" off of our bookshelf. He'd never read it before. He was able to save face in front of the 5-6 year olds by claiming that he had a fit of allergies
