Is reading cool?
Last Friday during movie night at the school I sat and talked with a group of parents. During our conversation a parent felt compelled to share the following story.
The other night the parent picked up three boys from basketball practice. Her practice as a parent is to stay quite and listen to what is happening with the boys. On this particular night the boys were discussing greasers, Socs, Ponyboy, and Johnny. The parent smiled to herself because she recognized that they were talking about the book "The Outsiders".
So..., is reading cool?
