I loved it and like you, I adored storytime. They don't seem to do that anymore in UK schools (well not spend a whole lesson on storytime anyway), which is a real shame. This time is invaluable for children, I think. Great post and I've also got a fettish for socks :) Bless him.Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674648154579013578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629102377276886689.post-79139676323888723962016-07-06T13:55:07.852-04:002016-07-06T13:55:07.852-04:00hope he does not wear them to school hope he does not wear them to school DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629102377276886689.post-39983087894823343672016-07-06T13:51:59.840-04:002016-07-06T13:51:59.840-04:00What's that old saying?

Two books I read at an early age that captured my imagination were written by astronomers - George Gamow's The Creation of the Universe and Fred Hoyle's Frontiers of Astronomy.<br /><br />I can't believe Bubba was able to stretch his baby socks to get into them at age 12. He's still growing and this can't go on forever. I would like to borrow a pun from "The Trial of the Century" and remind Bubba:<br /><br />"If it doesn't fit... you must quit." :)<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your week, dear friend Sherry!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629102377276886689.post-40885150958873690882016-07-05T04:15:50.775-04:002016-07-05T04:15:50.775-04:00haha just to prove he could do it.
