Sometimes two things get together that are just too good to be true. In Mazzy terms, this would be if Justin Beiber did a duet with Elmo. In Mike terms, this would be if Alyssa Milano wrapped herself in prosciutto. In Mommy Shorts terms, this would be if Samuel L. Jackson did a dramatic reading of "Go the F*ck to Sleep".
What's that you say? He DID??? Holy FUCK!
Below is the audio version of "Go the F*ck to Sleep" by Adam Mansbach, read by Mr. Samuel L. Jackson. In it's entirety.

I have downloaded and listened again and again. And every time, tears stream down my face. Funniest.Thing.Ever.
I played it for my mom today, and she was dying!
Audible.com also has a free download of it right now. We got it last night and listened to it over dinner, like an R-rated Masterpiece Theatre. It is ever bit as brilliant as I imagined it would be. Samuel L. Jackson and Go the F*ck to Sleep? Like peanut butter and jelly. They just go together.
Thank you. I just DLd it on Audible. BWahahah!
I also heard on the Tony’s the other night that he’s playing MLK in a show on Broadway. I just don’t picture the man behind “peaceful protest” when I see SLJ talking about motherf*ckin’ reptiles.
Also, both of my closest mommy friends independently bought this book for their husbands for Father’s Day. Without consulting a website. Crazy.
Could not have been better.
Fabulous–thanks!
THAT IS SO F000CKING AWESOME!
Everything in SLJ’s career led up to this point. Who could have read it better? F-ing FANTASTIC!
BEST. THING. EVER. EVER. EVER!!!!
That is awesome. So f*cking awesome.
LOVE IT! The perfect combo!
I. Am. CRYING.
You know the point where something is so hilarious, but so tragically true to life, that you’re crying from both laughter and the cruel reality of it all?
I am right there.
I’m seriously in pain right now from laughing so hard. That is the funniest goddam thing I’ve ever heard.
Samuel L. Jackson is AWESOME.
I was cracking up throughout!
I’ve been seeing this all over the internet and shared it via your blog with my bff yesterday. She has continued to insist her four-month-old daughter (Hellbaby) will not nap during the day, and I keep telling her she DOES nap when she’s at my house. She texted me this morning that Samuel L inspired her to put Hellbaby in her crib and walk away, and guess what? Yes, the baby went the fuck to sleep.
I love this book more than words can say!! I can not tell you how many times in my oldest daughters 4.5 years that I have been yelling these same words very loudly in my head! I about fell out with laughter the first time I heard Samuel L narrate! It is oh so true.
I included the link to the free download, thanks!
It is the perfect father’s day gift. Why didn’t I think of that?
SLJ seems too old to play MLK, no? I guess on stage it may not matter. The voice is all wrong too. But it’ll bring in an audience, I’m sure!
Let the baby cry it out. My advice to parents everywhere. Babies adjust pretty quickly to things if parents TOUGHEN THE FUCK UP!!!
So totally awesome!
That is the Fabulous, Awesome, Fantastic, funniest thing I’ve ever heard. I can’t stop laughing.
