Tricks of the Trade

Can I tell you a secret? Yes? No, it has nothing to do with Benjamin wearing distinctly feminine hats.
But, it has everything to do with reading.
Because, if your six year olds can read with fluency and gusto...
When it comes to bedtime, you too could be drinking tea ...
Because...
You've delegated yourself...
Right out of the job!

I'm happy to have you back commenting, Sr. T - I've missed you and look forward to our Christmas visit.

Jac, you commented at the exact same time that I did, I pushed publish and your comment came up simultaneously with mine. You must have the same morning: husband leaves for school, wife retreats to computer...

I hope that's decaf. Otherwise, I think I have figured out any sleep issues you might have.

Tracy, Did you catch the motto on the cup: "Schools to Believe in". Dave's old principal who is now one of the superintendents of the Board loves puns and uses the following motto: "Schools to Be Leaving."

What kind of idiot starts some kooky scheme of reading to their kids before bedtime? Here in the good old U.S.A. bedtime is ``Say your prayers,'' and then ``If I hear from you again you'll find out if those prayers did you any good.'' Sheesh. You people really need to take some parenting classes or something.
