Medium rare
Out last evening for a celebratory time with a friend who recently completed a school librarian certification process, which she mailed off this afternoon. Met several of her fellow parents, who all have first graders at a nearby Seattle school, one couple of which we spent a kayaking/camping weekend with last year. Most were in their late thirties, early forties, and just embarking on the longish haul of elementary and secondary education with their kids. Very interesting to talk with them, and share their pleasure at having budding readers in their families. Most of the women I spoke with were at home with one to three kids, and enjoying it.
Rather offhand pool games were conducted, with happy hour foods and beverages accompanying. Whether the eight ball was still visible or not mattered less and less.

My son always liked to be read to, but doesn't much care for reading.
-sigh-
Kathyr, our son loved reading until hitting middle school. Then it was a matter of having so much stuff to read for school, and so much homework, the reading became not something pleasant. I really don't remember having as much schoolwork in grades 7-12 as kids do today, so I was always reading after my homework was done and my clarinet practice card was filled in.
Now ours is out of college, he reads a fair amount.
