Five each
Five reasons to love Noah:
1. Because he says things like this, “Having a sister is really an up/down proposition.”
2. And this, “He claims to be an expert on lizards and all things considered, he is.”
3. He is effusive with hugs and proclamations of undying love when in the right mood.
4. He talks back to his audio books, which he listens to while playing downstairs. “Oh no, not that!” he yells at Fudge for eating his brother’s turtle.
5. He enjoys cleaning his room while listening to old Superman radio shows and today found himself so inspired that he made both his top and his bottom bunk!
Five reasons to love Madison:
1. Because she screeches, spins and falls onto her back in dramatic horror when inappropriate things (pens, tiny Pokemon figurines, paper clips) are removed from the fat little fist she’s bringing to her mouth.
2. She is like a pleased puppy — if she had a tail, she would wag it — if you scratch her curly head.
3. Dimples — when she smiles and when she bends her elbows.
4. She gallops (well, it’s more like a limp but the spirit behind it is galloping) when pleased with herself.
5. She glowers with her eyebrows down and her mouth very serious until you glower back and then she laughs.
And these are 10 of the reasons to read you.
