I have always loved to read. I remember my mom would tell me to sweep the floor, and then she would probably catch me standing in the middle of the room, broom in one hand, book in the other! Also when I was ironing, a book would always be on one end of the ironing board!
Even now, it seems as though I drop everything to read an article in the paper or in a magazine. I'm sure I must annoy my family because I'll cut out articles and give them to them, saying, "Hey, would you read this?"

I remember being asked to look after the class during the teacher's absence-- looking after involved getting the whole lot to keep silent -- and I'd take up whatever book I was currently reading and go stand in front of the blackboard and let the class do whatever it felt like...
Not great on the responsibility front, but there was so little time to read all that I wanted to :)

Reading while sweeping--not an easy feat! I've always loved reading, too, often sneaking off to read when I was supposed to be doing chores. Hmmm... I never thought of doing chores AND reading at the same time. By the way, you are welcome for the comment about driving and I'm glad you liked my site about my family stories. Like you, I am enjoying writing down my family stories!

I can remember reading while pushing the grocery cart around the store ...
