Also, I washed dishes while reading. Used one hand to do the dishes, one to hold the book. I can turn pages with the thumb of the hand holding the book.

He even saw a parent force her son to pretend that he was mentally challenged (there is some state/federal dollars in that, too). He told me his heart was breaking as he watched this parent tell her son that "there was no way he could go back to [high] school next year, because they would cut his disability check."

Yeah, people should be forced to take some type of parenting class.
I would have been on the phone to child services in a New York second!
