When Dude-lady got back to her place, she kicked Dude-man and his friends out. She took a long, hot shower... Well, it was more like a long, lukewarm shower because the hot water wasn't working right.
She called her landlord and left a voice mail about her hot water. So, later that week, Dude-lady came home on her lunch hour to find Guss, the maintence man (who also moonlights as Santa at the Super-Walmart during the holidays), in her bathroom. He said he had fixed her hot water, explained that it was just a broken faucet and that was fine...
"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
