The boys were all about what to give up for Lent. They discussed it over every meal.
So when John said he had decided to forgo TV for the next forty days, the others decided that they would choose the same thing. So I thought, well this is good, they can play outside, they can play with their toys, they can read...
In order to encourage the latter we made a trip to the library in Bel Air to stock up on books.
So John found three Garfield books that he hadn't read yet.
Now they are reading me every strip out of each book. The three of them. There are only three books and so I get to hear each comic three times as each of them finds it hilarious.
It's hard to laugh the third time.
They are reading....sort of.
