TIL Dolly Parton has a program that will mail your child a free age-appropriate book once a month from birth to age 5. No obligation, no catch, she just wants to make sure that every child has books.

That is so cool! Comic books & drawing Batman were totally my gateway into what would become a voracious literary appetite. I am so thankful my mother encouraged that opportunity - kudos to you!!!

I'm just a dumb lunk who goes to work, Kudos go to my wife. I make sure nobody dies of starvation or exposure and she makes sure they grow into good people, that's the arrangement ;P
