Cool Story about Hey, Diddle Diddle
"I thought you both would enjoy this true story about a book I bought in the Barnes and Noble, Freehold.
Back in the Spring or Summer of 2000, I brought my then 5 year old daughter to the bookstore to buy her some books. I told her she could pick out three. At the time I was pregnant with my son, who was to be named after my husband, Tim. When I was putting her to bed I held the books in my hands. I can't remember which was read first, but when I opened, Hey Diddle, Diddle, there was an inscription inside the cover.
It said, For Timmy... Diddle a little... but READ A LOT! Then the signature of Kin Eagle.
When I show the book to others they never believe me!"
