Hear ye, hear ye! I formally announce my clear and absolute wrongheadedness, grant my daughter a one-time revokable right to read my blog (well, this entry, anyway...no wandering, Em!), and promise never to underestimate her again:
Em rocks and I WAS WRONG...and I'm not afraid to admit it.
The backstory: Around Thanksgiving time, Em looked at the list of 25 books she'd read this year, and announced she was going to get to 30 by year's end. I suggested that five books in a month was overreaching. She suggested that I would end up eating my words...and that if that happened, I should do it publicly. Last night, with more than a week to spare, she finished Robert Patterson's "Max," which was the fifth book since I mouthed off. My words, they are eaten. In public. And I couldn't be more pleased.

Hooray for Em!!
Nice job, Em!! That's the kind of win I can always get behind!
Go Em!!
Hey, my super duper great niece, way to go... Give us a list of what you read.
I am still reading Eat Pray Love which I started months ago and put it down to read the pile of magazines which I have done and have recycled them to my neighbor.
Love you bunches... AB
