last year, when my son was in kindergarten, they had "mystery reader" days when a parent, grandparent, sibling etc. of a student would come in and read to the kids.
I volunteered to do it then when I got there, started to wonder, should I have brought my own book, or may I use one from the classroom. All I had in the car to read was the Form so I could see me sitting down in the "special guest rocking chair" and beginning "Once upon a time, there was a first time gelding who could...all he needed was those blinkers..." Luckily, I was early and ducked into the library to grab a book. Of course my son, who is quite familiar with racing terminology and PP's would not have batted an eye. I can imagine the faces on the parents of the other kids when they went home and said, "Some lady came in and read us the Racing Form!"
