Boredom Can Become Beautiful

 


The teenager is reading aloud to the littles, The Trumpet of the Swan by EB White! This is the second day in a row. They sit for chapter after chapter after chapter.... They were bored yesterday and I almost caved and let them watch tv/ play video games, something reserved for after dinner. It’s vacation so all they have to do is piano and silent reading.
