“So, what’ll it be Twilight or Lord of the Rings?”
“Twilight? Gross. Lord of the Rings!”
“Have you ever read it?” I asked.
“Saw the movies,” was his reply.
“Not the same thing…Good choice, by the way. Here’s what we’ll do. I’ll read the first chapter and you read the second and we’ll go back and forth until it’s time for you to go to sleep. Okay?”
“Yeah, that sounds good. Do you do voices?”
“Absolutely. Scoot over a little.” I said as I sat down on the bed next to him. I let him hold the book and I slipped my arm around his shoulder.
And so we began “story time.” We didn’t get too far but we both liked it and decided we’d continue this every night.
