sherryillkWow, kids who love to read can really rake it in this summer! http://freebies.about.com/od/familyfreestuff/tp/summer-reading.htm
I mean, wow. Gift cards? Money? Free books?
Damn, when I was a kid, the only summer reading program was at my local library and all we got were stupid stuff like T-shirts and plastic cups. Sure, I got every prize one could ever get (I was a voracious reader), but nothing ever that cool. I think I got a coupon for a free burger once and I considered that pretty good.
Now with the internet, and I guess kids reading less than they did even back in my day, the incentives to read when school is out are higher than ever. But it really makes me wish I was a kid in this age again. I mean, I always want to go back to my childhood but stuff like this makes me really wish it. Being a kid now seems so much cooler than when I was actually a kid. I wonder if it's like that for every generation?
