When I was little, bedtime was prized because I loved to be read to by my parents. I also loved reading to them. We'd put on my bedside lamp (I'm sure they hoped I'd fall asleep quickly...I was what you call a 'high energy' kid), and read. They're effort at the end of the day to read with me is probably why I'd always raise my hand in class to read aloud, even in french class.
Thanks Mum and Dad.

PS- ohhhh Enricooooooooooo.......
