This ain't Reading Rainbow: During a charity event for the Children's Miracle Network hospitals, book enthusiast LeVar Burton read aloud the 2011 bestseller Go the F— to Sleep, written by a tired dad who just, well, wanted his daughter to go the f— to sleep.
This storytelling was strictly for adults, and by the time the fundraiser was over $442,389 had been raised, NPR reports. If you've always wanted Burton to read you a soothing bedtime story featuring four-letter words, watch the clip below. It goes without saying that this video is filled with a lot of swearing, so you might want to turn the volume down if you finally got your own kid to go to sleep. --Catherine Garcia
