I finally had to lay down my gauntlet: Kid, your mom is trying to be a novelist. It will really make me look bad if you are illiterate. I became anxious. All my mom friends were in a methodical and steady course towards their children's reading excellence. Their kids all had Leap Frogs and Vtechs and Hot Dots. I'm not a gadget person, so all my son had was a mom in a downward spiral of bribe overload, egg timer in hand, setting goals for numbers of pages read, minutes with a book open, number of stories finished. Blech. He read, but every page was a drag. It was a drag for both of us.
