Give them some really good High Fantasy (J.R.R. Tolkein, or J.K. Rowlings)
Given them Suess
Leave them alone with "Hooked on Phonics" computer games
Leap Pad learning toys
Favorite Comic books
drop them in the deep end (Does Atlas Shrugged count as Child Abuse?)
C.S. Lewis' Chronicals of Narnia is a great read for kids.

How could I forget...? How about Alice in Wonderland (Through the Looking Glass) by Lewis Carroll? Or is that too much?

Alice in Wonderland would be good, but age makes a difference -- some kids are easily frightened.

Scorpios are supposed to be perverts?

Hey, my personality is pretty much an open book; what zodiac sign do you think I am? Care to guess?

Actually, Scorpios are "two-faced." What I meant was Kelly went from her sweet self to...well....

And as for you...well...lessee....I'd say Aries or Taurus. Maybe a Libra.

Taurus is a good guess. He's got the bull-headedness.
He may be another water sign, though.

If so, I'd say Pisces, cuz he's certainly not a cancer, and I don't think he's much of a scorpio. But i said libra becaus eof his excellent debating skills (another reason to pick taurus, of course).

Post by **Darth Wong** » 2002-10-24 03:24pm

I'm a Libra.

Post by **haas mark** » 2002-10-24 03:26pm

Woohoo!

Post by **Darth Wong** » 2002-10-24 03:33pm

So what do they say about Libras?

Post by **haas mark** » 2002-10-24 03:34pm

They either bring balance or create choas wherever they go. As far as I know.

I could send you something on your birthday if you'd like; all I need is month and date, not year. (Kelly, I'll get you yours when I can)

Post by **Darth Wong** » 2002-10-24 03:55pm

I bring balance to the Force. No, wait, I bring chaos wherever I go! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

Kelly Antilles · Post by **Kelly Antilles** » 2002-10-24 04:17pm

Yeah, actually Libra was the first thing that popped into my mind. I don't know why I didn't say it.

I'd teach them to read while they were premature! Then, after they've said their first few words, I'll teach them to read. I don't wanto them to be in second grade an unable to read proficently, like many kids these days.

Well, we're talking about the zodiac now, I was late.

Boy, that really makes his avatar appropriate.

BTW, verilon, I'm married to a Taurus, my polar opposite.

Heh...I was going out with an Aquarius, mine...until he stopped calling me. Now I'm hoping for this really cool Aries guy...
