312 Pages

The school librarian called to tell me that my kid checked a book out this morning and read a 312 page book and returned it at the end of the day.

"She's a sweet girl," she said.

"Yes," I said.

"Is it possible that she really read the entire book? It's a shortened day."

"Oh yes. It's possible," I said grimly.

What do I do?! Ground her from reading? I know that she's reading in math and social studies and science and even that Spanish class that she worked so hard to get into.

It makes me want to throw a book at her.
