One of the blogs that I follow is bripblap.com by Steve. One of his recent posts was about love of learning and book reading. The statistics that he quoted in that post from bookstatistics.com, were very shocking and unbelievable. The situation is really scary if these numbers are accurate.
- 58% of the US adult population never reads another book after high school.
- 42% of college graduates never read another book.
- 80% of US families did not buy or read a book last year.
- 70% of US adults have not been in a bookstore in the last five years.

A new strategic location for our bird feeder is turning out to be very good. We can look at the birds through our patio door without disturbing them and that is making it easier for kids to view the birds. Here are a couple of photos of visitors to our bird feeder.

Sometime in April, Ashwini’s school hosted a breakfast for Dads called “Donuts with Dads”. It was followed this month by a breakfast for Moms called “Muffins with Moms”. Adit was miffed that his preschool didn’t have such breakfast with parent event. So, I decided to take him to “Dunkin’ Donuts” on the way to school when V went with Ashwini to her school breakfast.
Ashwini: Adit, I am going to have Muffins with Mom and you get to have Donuts with Dad.
Adit: No, I am going to have Munchkins with Dad. I don’t want donuts.
Ashwini: No, you must have donuts with Dad.
Adit: But, I don’t like donuts. I want munchkins with Dad.
Ashwini: But, that doesn’t rhyme. It has to donuts with Dad. D and D… get it? You can have munchkins with Mom.
Adit: No. I am going to have munchkins with Dad.
This went on for a few rounds and ended in both of them crying before we got into our respective cars and drove away.
At Dunkin’ Donuts, Adit made sure that he got 5 munchkins and chocolate milk. It was good fun chatting with him over breakfast as I got to hear some interesting things. Here are a couple of them…
- Drew has a pink comb. I think it is Emily’s but, he uses it too.
- Madi doesn’t come to school anymore and I don’t get to play with her. So, now I just stick to the other girls.
- Drinking all the milk is making me grow fast. Can you believe how fast I am growing? My hand gets bigger every 5 seconds and my whole body gets bigger every 10 seconds.
