Dr. Suess is Whacked!

A while back some friends sent Akins some Dr. Suess books and I read them of course thinking the whole while "what kind of drugs was this guy on"? Akins listened back then and never said a word. Now that he has a better grasp of English he is asking a lot more questions. The other night we made the fatal error of embarking down the Dr. Suess book road again. Here's kind of how it went...

Akins: What's him?
Mommy: A Whump.
Akins: What's a Whump do?
Mommy: Uummm - I'm not quite sure.
Akins: What are you talking about?
Mommy: Ummmm - I'm not quite sure.
Akins: Who's he?
Mommy: Mr. Fox Socks
Akins: He can blow the house down?
Mommy: Ummmm - No that is the Big Bad Wolf.
Akins: Oh. What's a Fox do?
Mommy: Well, he's smaller than a wolf, he's not mean and he lives in the woods.
Akins: Oh. Is he mad? (Pointing to the man in the book who Mr. Fox Socks is trying to get to say all of this nonesense).
Mommy: Yes.
Akins: Why?
Mommy: Because he is tired of Mr. Fox Socks trying to get him to say all those crazy words.
Akins: What's the beetle do?
Mommy: The Tweedle Beetle? Ummmm... he paddles. !$#!%@
Akins: Why?
Mommy: Ummmm....I don't have a clue.
Akins: Why he chunked the Fox into the bottle?
Mommy: Because he mad at him.
Akins: Why
Mommy: Because he doesn't want to say all these funny words.
Akins: How did he chunk him into the bottle?
Mommy: Ummmm...I guess through the little hole.
Akins: How?
Mommy: Ummmm...I don't know it's just a story.

Needless to say story time took a long time and included a few points where he was getting pretty frustrated with this nonesense. Now back to my original question, what kind of drugs was Dr.S uess on? Clearly very strong ones! I think for now we will table the Dr. Suess stories until Akins can understand fully the storyline of a "normal" book. Not to mention I can't get "Two Hump Whumps and Tweedle Beetles out of my head!
