Today was a special day across the United States. Schools all across the U.S. were reading the book titled "Corduroy" to their students. Someone out there thought it would be brilliant to see if we could set a new record for having the largest amount of people reading the same book in one day. (It's to promote reading, all for a good cause!)
Anywho, it just so happens that one of our boys was celebrating his 10th birthday today. During the morning announcements, the principal informed students and teachers that the NBC morning show was going to have a clip of Mrs. Bush (yes, the President's wife) reading "Corduroy" to a group of children and we were more than welcome to tune into it before we read it ourselves. After the morning announcements we switched the channel over to NBC and I wish you could have seen the Birthday Boy's face! (Let me just say that he is an all around awesome kid.) He was so stoked that Mrs. Bush, the President's wife, was going to be reading the story AT the White House, ON his birthday. As I was walking around the classroom I heard him tell his friend, "This is the best birthday EVER!" He was just so ecstatic that this "record" was going to be set on HIS birthday. It really was too funny! Who knew that something so simple could cause so much excitement.
Kids are so cool!
