Yeah, my parents had to tell me to stop reading too...in the middle of the night, when I was supposed to go to sleep a few hours ago!
I'm sure this young girl will read, despite her mother. First she'll start sneaking over to a friend's house to read. Then she'll tell her mother "I'm going to go shopping" when she's really sneaking off to the library. Finally one day her mother will discover a Kindle in her drawer, go ballistic, and the girl will run off and take up with a writer. They'll have a little girl they'll encourage to read, but her heart will long to win a beauty pageant....
