anyone else get yelled at for reading too much as a kid
#my dad was mad at how much we would read and we'd get in trouble for not playing but also#we'd get in trouble for reading comic books or graphic novels bc we were 'too smart for them' and he'd throw them away#really dont understand that logic#side story my elementary school had a program called reading counts (you read books take a short test then get points that add up) and#the person with the most points won a pizza party. they always had the top 5 i think it may have been 3 one year but#my siblings and i would read nonstop unrelated to reading counts and we'd read big books (more points)#so it was always us plus 2 random kids at the pizza party every year 💀 theses twins we knew won a few times so it was more a playdate#honestly we should have been disqualified bc we were in the thousands and the other kids were not thats not even fair#(hope this doesn't come off like a 'honors kid' brag its not- im trying to illustrate the sheer amount of books we were reading nonstop)
