I'm only 3 posts in your blog, and already want to yell, "Amen, sistah!" I make my girls have quiet time (usually an hour) every afternoon after our read aloud at lunch. (That was what your previous post was about!) Your dad's quote is a good one, and probably more gentle than what I often tell my kids : only boring people get bored. I don't know if it's that they're offended at being called boring, or just that they want to get away before I start handing out chores. Either way, somehow they always manage to find something fun to do, and no one has ever died of boredom at my house yet!
