The Diversion:
1. Grab the nearest book
2. Open the book to page 123
3. Find the fifth sentence
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog, along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it. Just grab what is closest!
And so, in keeping with the theme of today, I will grab the two books that are closest to me and have something to do with my day.
The First:
"No T.V."
"Grounded."
Do you think these kids changed their performance? Carefully think through
the relationship between the behavior and the consequence.
~From 401 Ways to Get Your Kids to Work at Home by Bonnie Runyan McCullough
The Second:
No, she had tried to imagine it thousands of times, drawing on her ideas of
all the villains she had ever read about in books: Captain Hook, crooked-nosed
and thin; Long John Silver, a false smile always on his lips; Injun Joe, who had
haunted so many of her bad dreams with his knife and greasy black hair...
But Capricorn looked quite different.
~From Inkheart by Cornelia Funke, the book I'm currently reading
