The truth about teens and reading
I totally outed Child #1!
My 19 year old who says things like, "I'm not a reader. I haven't liked reading since elementary school."
Yes, he knows how to push my buttons. Brutally.
Tonight I cracked open the door to his bedroom because I needed extra light in the hall.
What was he doing?
Lying on his bed and.....reading! A book I'd stuck in his stocking last month.
I bit my tongue. I didn't comment. Didn't ask if he was enjoying the story. Didn't say, "Neener, neener, neener. See. You really are a reader, you poseur non-reader!" Nosirree, I was a mum Mom.
Then, this morning, he was reading again. This time in the living room.
The book?
