― B.F. Skinner
I found a
lovely invitation on my door this morning.
It was for my children from a friend of ours who is visiting from out of
state. She has a home in our same
community, and in the 13 years that we have known her and her husband, we have
become very good friends. They also have
become very fond of our children and are incredibly thoughtful toward them.
On this
particular occasion, our friend had left a beautiful hand-made card inviting my
children to a story reading later in the afternoon. It would include popcorn, she added.
At the
appointed hour, we went to visit our friends.
As usual, there was a lovely table set out. And my friend had the book ready. She read to my children for an hour and
completely captured their attention with her animated reading, which included
different voices, gestures and even questions about vocabulary words. The experience was incredibly special. I have no doubt that my children will always
remember it.
