How about this one??

It seems there was a young boy whose father was accustomed to reading
bed-time stories.  Only this time the father got a book from the library
that was particularly boring/offensive, so the boy said he didn't want to
hear it and went up to his bedroom by himself.  A few minutes later, the
father appears carrying the "Strawberry Shortcake Visits the Smurfs"
or whatever it was, so the boy demands:

	"Why did you bring that book I didn't want to be read

[ready?  here they come]

	to out of up here for?"
