I learned to read in 1st grade — I didn’t go to kindergarten — and I have always loved books. Getting my library card is a cherished memory. Ours was a rather small library, and it did not take long for me to go through all of the children’s collection, so I was also reading adult books at a very early age. Of course, in those days, a parent did not have to wonder about a kid’s venturing into the adult section.
I remember getting a kid dictionary. I loved it. I miss dictionaries. I think we are just a bunch of nerds on here!
