Did I ever tell you guys how I learned to read?

Of course, there wasn't just ONE thing in learning to read.  There were street signs, and picture books, and parents reading the Sunday comic strips out loud while I watched, and lots of stuff.

But one of the things was that my Dad read.me THE.CHRONICLES OF NARNIA for bedtime stories.  And I got to help.  At first, I got the one-letter words, "a" and "I".  I got to help out with longer words eventually.

And then, Dad would start "accidentally" falling asleep just as we got to the exciting parts...
