My mum did the same to my brothers and I when we were young. She would always point out the things in public, and she never scrimps on books, books, books, and more books. When you can write (and read of course), you have the power, as they say, the pen is thy sword. And well, cliche as it is, with great power comes great responsibilities. On a lighter note, I am very glad that your girl is passionate in learning! =) God bless you, sweet mum.

What amazes me is how much she will be able to access once she properly read, the world will be so different ... Having lived in Japan for a year where I couldn't understand most things written I had this great feeling when arriving in Singapore. Reading is such a key to the wonders of our world...
