Too cute not to mention!

Omaha was walking past Kouryou-chan's room tonight when she looked in, paused, and saw... a glow.

Yes, my kid was under her blanket, reading with a flashlight.

I did that when I was her age too. And I told her so. Then we told her that even so, she still had to get to bed. She has summer camp tomorrow, after all.

Sniff... You must be so proud of her.

Get Into The 21st Century

That is so last century of her. In such a technologically savvy household I would have expected her to have her own backlit eBook reader by now.

(Yes, I did it too.)

::chuckle:: yeah, that would be technologically savvy.

But, really, what would be the point at her age? I mean, an eBook reader would be a mass of electronics that does the same as a book and that when she inevitably loses it, breaks it, or pours water all over it will be replaced for the price in the hundreds of dollars.

On the other than, a lost, torn, or water infested book is usually replaced (if replaced it must be) for the price of around $5.

Add to that the the look and feel of a book for a child, versus a reader, is a very real thing (and you don't get illustrations or graphics in an eBook reader) and basically a book wins hands down.

I would also have no problem with my daughter lending her book to a friend. Her eBook reader, on the other hand....
