It's that time of year: summer. The dreaded summer word. What is there to do when the sky is overcast, the temperature unseemly cold and a drizzle of rain keeps slipping down your neck when you go out?
In an effort to tear the kids away from the television and computer, Simone offered to take them out to the library.
"What for?" complained one. "My favourite show is on." This was said while the kid's eyes remained glued to the computer screen in order not to miss a second of the game she was playing.
"I don't want to read," said the other.
"ABC," yelled the third.
"Readopoly," Simone reminded them all. "You know, the summer reading game that they have at the library? You can win free books!"
"You're gonna make us go every day," whined the kids.
"Nah," said Simone. "Just today."
Two grumpy faces and one smiling one. "ABC!" the two year old gleefully said.
At least one of the kids likes reading...
