Consider this: it's almost time for lunch, your toddler is attempting to scale the mountain of laundry that hides the washing machine, and little Sally wants you to read her the chapter about the Space Race again. Do you really want to hinder her thirst for history? Of course not! But what about lunch? And that laundry won't wash, dry, and fold itself… No problem. Let Jim Weiss take it from here. He can read to your kids when you can't!
