I was taking my turn at yard-doody today when I saw something that tugs at every writer's heart. Two first grade girls were sitting on a bench at lunch reading amidst all the chaos. Being me, I was curious to see what they were reading, so I went over to check it out. They both had the same copy of Magic Tree House, turned to the same page. One of the girls couldn't read very well, so she was following along in her book while the other girl read out loud from her book. It was so adorable I almost got misty. They told me how much they loved the MTH books, and that when they were done with this one, they were going to go back and read number 5 because they couldn't remember what it was about. Sniff.
On this date: In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected President.

How sweet! Well, that beats what my first grade daughter was doing at lunch today. She hit a kid in the face with a stick and almost broke his glasses. Yup, she spent her lunch hour with the principal.
Oh, I long for the little girl who enjoys just hanging out with a good book and a good friend.
