You stop boinging me!

Lenore is reading Beesus and Ramona to Laney. Reading to children may be out of fashion with lots of people. I remember even as a junior in High School enjoying Upton Sinclair's The Jungle as read to us by our English teacher, Mrs. Lee. Laney just identified "pest" as a bad word because her older sisters have used it to describe her more than once. I live in a house full of girls, one wife (even in Utah), three daughters, two cats. The fact that the only other male within my four walls is a rat, is an irony not lost on me or my girls.
