Do you all remember being read bedtime stories as a kid; or maybe you didn't have that, but you saw it in movies and television. I remember as a kid maybe in first grade, my mom gave my older sister the duty of tutoring me in reading. My sister would have me read to her at night and she'd always fall asleep. It took me a while to realize that I was basically reading my older sister bedtime stories.
Then a few years ago, I had a best friend living with me, and we were supposed to be reading a book together, but she said she couldn't focus long enough to get through the chapters, so she asked me to read them to her at night after work. Of course she fell asleep also.
Interestingly enough, both my sister and my friend began to request I read them these stories.
