12、posite. As strange as it is to hit on someone much younger than you, interrupting them while they are out reading is rude, selfish, and hateful behavior.来源:Z.xx.k.ComYou are dong this under two false thoughts: that the person isnt doing anything important, and that you desire to talk is more importa

19、Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mom. However, he arrived at school dirty every morning, and along with his outward appearance, Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways, too. His home was a mess and his parents never settled
