Younger Boy started melting down tonight.

One of the assignments his reading teacher has is to read either to yourself or out loud each day for 30 minutes...seven days a week. 

Younger Boy is not a reader.  This is why he is in this reading class.

Tonight I asked him if he would rather read to himself or to me.  NO ONE told him he had to read.  He didn't hear the teacher say it (although he did write it down in his planner). 

We don't have any books.  They are all packed. 

He can't find anything online to read, because he can't get internet access.

He can't find any magazines or newspapers, because I make them clean the house too often.

Hmmm....I guess what he can do is go to bed.  Maybe tomorrow night he will be able to find something to read.

Prayers for a good night sleep.  He needs it.
