    Gina dejesus, Tina knight, and another girl. Local to me.

    Yep, that's it.

    Gina Dejaesus, Amanda Berry, and Michelle Knight. Such a sad, terrifying story

    Haha, I know I'm probably just naive, but I think my kids will be different. I started reading when I was 3 and was reading Stephen King in 3rd grade. My grandma made me watch 2 hours of the History channel for every hour of cartoons. I can only hope to do the same for my eventual hellspawn.

    Lol, well I might be basing it off of how I was at that age. I asked how everything worked. Took a computer apart and put it back together at 8, which is what set me on the career path I'm on now. I was so interested in learning everything I possibly could. I remember spending 8 - 10 hours a day just reading on my bed.

    I am an avid reader. I started reading early and would read at least a book a day as a youngster. My kids don't like to read unless they have to!!! Wth!!!! Your kids are going to do what they want to do.

    You're right, I know. But I still want to do it eventually, and I can only hope they come out the way I envision.

    Right now I help provide for my niece and nephew, and those kids are great. My nephew is 10 now, so he's just starting to get to that age where he doesn't want to listen to anyone, but my niece is still really young (she's 5), and is brilliant for her age. I have really high hopes for both of them. I'm planning on seeing if my nephew will take an interest in programming this summer, I'd love to teach him.
