Сходила я давеча на родительскоесобрание.Трали-вали-гусельки, Вася то, Дуся...

I went to the parent meeting just now. Trail-go-goosels, Vasya, this is Dusya ... but Egor is the only one to whom I have no complaints about Russian and reading. The whole class turns around in unison. I blush, flirtatiously hide behind my belly and slide under my desk. Some kind of primitive desire to make excuses - they say, yes, well, that's how he was born with me, he loves to read, all people are like people, but mine is ...
After the meeting, the parents promptly take me with pincers, squeeze me into a corner and ask the following verbatim:
- HOW DID YOU MAKE HIM LOVE TO READ?

And here I understand that this is a kirdyk. Because here is a bunch of aunties and over 40 and almost with notebooks in their hands are waiting for me, youngsters, a detailed master class on the topic "How I made my son love books", preparing in advance to be horrified by the draconian methods. For normal they have tried everything and it didn't work. And I begin to them in full seriousness trying to explain that it is not a man to MAKE love. It doesn't matter what, but they don't understand. Doesn't my son like to read? So I managed to make him ?! The dialogue turned out to be enchanting:
- Well, with him they constantly read everything. And I, and my husband, and grandmothers .... He sees it and reads it himself. A full house of books ...
- We also have a full house, my dad still collected the library, there were scarce books then. Three bookcases, not even the pages are pasted - take it, read it. And we buy all the time - and magazines and detectives ... And he is sitting in front of the TV!
-We don't have a TV ...
-?!
- Absolutely. We are not looking. We reading.

This is how primitive people looked at the shaman, who only with a wave of his hand stopped the cave bear. Here it is, a maternal feat! Give up the TV in the name of the child reading! To go to such horrible deprivations !!!

- What are you doing in the evening?
- We talk, for example ...
- About what? We are now discussing what we saw on TV!
- And we - who happened that day. Books I have read, we are still busy with our menagerie, I am embroidering ...
- WITHOUT BACKGROUND?!
- No, why - I turn on the music on the computer.
- And the news?
- Internet, radio. Yes, and I'm not particularly interested in the news, the most important things will be said on the radio, and the details of the personal lives of the stars are not interesting to me.
- Well, how can ... not know what is happening in the world ...

They look no longer as a celestial - as a dangerous psycho.

- And how is a child without cartoons?
- From disk, on a computer.
- What about serials? Ours was watching about Spider-Man, right now about some robots ...
- Why would he need them? He reads books, they are more interesting.
- Well, I don't know ... How can BOOKS be more interesting to a boy than robots ?!

How, how ... how up, damn it!

- Aren't you letting him into the computer?
- Why, he has his own.
- And don't you allow playing all day?
- He himself does not want, he is not interested.
- Why?
- The book is more interesting.
- The book couldn't be more interesting! It's a child !!!

Now, I am already a mother viper.

- And what is he reading now?
- Kassilya.
- Whom ?!
- (almost plaintively) Kassil. Leo ... (well, it can't be that !!! well, you think, you didn't hear, it happens ...)
- IS THIS KIND OF ANOTHER HARRY POTTER?
-?!
- Well, there, Lev Kasel and Some Room ...

AAAAAAAAAAAAA, your mother! Out of 8 people, none of them knew who Lev Kassil was !!! NO ONE!!!!!!! I was only able to plaintively bleat something like: yes, yes, only during the October Revolution ...
(Fan-fiction - Harry Potter and the Great October Revolution. Voldemort seizes the telegraph in armored car. Dumbledore, wrapped in machine gun tape. Snape with a mustache on a dashing hippogriff. Hermione with a machine gun and a red scarf. Hagrid in a leather Luffy Mouser jacket and a reversible dress) Malfoy Tauride wearing a hat, ahh, shoot me !!!!).

- And yet - HOW DID YOU MAKE YOUR SON LOVE TO READ ?!
- Well ... do you like to read?
- AND I DON'T NEED TO! I HAVE ALREADY FINISHED SCHOOL, HAVE REPRESENTED MYS

On that and parted. They are home, to the TV, like normal people; I am home, to my son, husband and animals. In the stone age, where there is no TV and there are books. With pasted pages, and not as a prestigious scarcity item.

I’ll go and read ...
