always nice to know that I wasn't the only kid that acted the same way! in the front way, watching to see what others were doing, going to the library on Saturday and basically reading all of the books by Sunday evening. I don't remember ever being limited by age to certain books as I tended to read what I wanted.

although by fifth grade my mother warned me that if she had to come to the school and pick me up because I was daydreaming in class, I would have to walk home. My answer was "then I'll walk home!"

LOL, I love the walking home. Wasn't it hard to pay attention when you got the lesson right off? It's wonderful to be a quick-learner but frustrating, too.

As always Lesley, you write to my heart and soul. I also sometimes seem aloof, but really I’m not at all. I just like to sit back and observe my surroundings. Maybe because we are fellow Libras!
