I long for the day where mothers spend more time with their baby girls (and boys) reading books and teaching them about the stars than they do taking pictures of their kids in cute outfits...

Sadly things seem to be going in the opposite direction.

@freemo Once a colleague of mine asked if she can borrow the book I'm reading as she thought one of her daughters had recently discovered reading and it would help a lot if she sees her mother reading too. I happily gave her the book even before finishing it. After few days she told me that every night her daughter grabs a book and start to read on seeing her mother read. My happiness knew no bounds :)
