I got bored before you told me how to stop a child from reading, I think I’ll just lose his glasses while he is in the shower. He looks like a dweeb in them anyways.

very funny, but if your kid is really reading a lot, you should seek professional assistance. Doing it on your own, can just make matters worse.

So, I only read enough to know you are opposed to reading. Then I got a headache from reading.

I cured my son from his desire to read by encouraging him to sit as close to the TV and computer screens until he needed glasses. Then I didn’t get them for him. Now he can only read text that is 32 pt. or larger. Problem. Solved.

Writing that was hard. I need to go drink heavily now. Or smoke peyote. I’ll see you in a couple months.

I stopped reading Moby Dick the moment I realized it wasn’t a porno. Sadly, it took me like 150 pages to realize that.

I definitely remember fumbling my way through an English class test on Moby Dick. I never read the damn book or any of the other “required reading” books, and I got an A in that class. I’m still a better writer than most. Way to go, school.
