I was reading at around 3 or 4. And now, I'm a journalism major in part because of it.Elle*https://www.blogger.com/profile/02273887699034040759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30640673.post-87272142733106775122007-04-02T07:13:00.000-05:002007-04-02T07:13:00.000-05:00oh.my.goodness, Paula!

Just like a few posts back I said I even read my movies. I thought I was weird for that, but I'm glad to see there are more people like me out there!T.P.

I like to think it is, at least in part, because I read the same book to him every night while he was in his mother's womb. Once he was born the words from the book soothed him. (BTW - The book was "Oh the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30640673.post-33504373307954471452007-04-01T11:07:00.000-05:002007-04-01T11:07:00.000-05:00Great name for a BLOG!Ripple On!!!Steve HarperGreat name for a BLOG!<BR/><BR/>Ripple On!!!<BR/><BR/>Steve HarperSteve Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702246071503789077noreply@blogger.com
