Jennifer Garner tells kids to "Go the F*ck to Sleep"

We've all grown to know and love Jennifer Garner for her spirited performance in 13 Going on 30 (best movie ever, right?) and her motherly roles in films like Juno, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, and Men, Women & Children. Not to mention, she's an awesome mom IRL. But even the sweet-demeanored Jen can get testy—especially when it comes to her kids not going the f*ck to sleep.

That's right—if you've ever wanted to hear sweet Jen read the modern bedtime classic, Go the F**ck to Sleep, you now can thanks to Vanity Fair!

Watch the mom of three recite lines from the the bestseller by the poolside in her soft, calming voice with her sweet dimpled smile:

"The cats nestle close to their kittens, The lambs have lain down with their sheep, You're cozy and warm in your bed my dear, Now go the f**k to sleep."

Jennifer is just one of many celebs who have read this book. Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Pollak and LeVar Burton have also told kids to go the f*ck to sleep. A Spanish audiobook of the tale was even recorded by George Lopez back in 2011.

I guess this is just a taste of what kids Violet, 10, Seraphina, 7, and Sam, 4, get when they're feeling a little rebellious. As for ex-husband Ben Affleck...we don't want to know.
