something I got in my email...

I just had to respond to your story about your daughter. Last November,
on her 7th birthday, our daughter asked if she would be allowed to go to
Hogwarts when she turned 11 if she got a letter. My immediate impulse
was to say it was make believe, but I mastered myself and told her that
if she got a letter, I'd go with her! Having kids has given me my magic
back--you are right. Thanks for such a lovely note.
And kudos to JK Rowling; our 7 year old just finished reading an 860
page book, and her vocabulary is that of a 6th grader because of it!
Hooray for reading and for words!
