Early in our marriage, after the college years were through, I questioned why Kevin didn’t read more novels. I knew he enjoyed reading, but he rarely did so. He explained that he had a problem…he couldn’t put a book down. Even as a kid, he thought the story would go on without him so he had to just sit and read and read until he finished the book. He didn’t want to miss any of the story.
I didn’t realize this was hereditary.
As I tried to get Ricky to put down his book so we could say prayers last night, he let me know, “Momma! It isn’t like a movie! You can’t just pause a book!”
There you go.
