When I was very little the teachers screamed at me to pay attention. Naturally I could not conceptualize about what they were demanding. I looked all over the classroom and could not find any. I could not buy any either because all I had was the 5 cents mother gave me for milk at lunch each day.
I love reading the newspaper! I get a subscription once in awhile and read read read but then I realize I just need a break from all that…Reading takes up a lot of your time! lol
