She stopped wearing earrings.

Read the book, child!

ahahahahaa. good one. bert. do you get the feeling there are some book club slackers on this board too? not just students?

Actually, Bert, she gets the second earring.

Yep, good chance there are book club folks on here -- but critical thinking is important - so why join a book club if you aren't going to do the work? Unless it is school work, who is twisting their arm? Reading is so joyful and gives so much back - its like Christmas and Santa Claus wrapped up between book covers - surprises, anticipation..... golly, where would I be without books? I am a bit amazed people who say, "no, I don't read books..." . I am so happy my son has been a lifelong reader and feels sorry for kids who don't get it....

As for the getting the other earring, she has better luck than I do! I've lost a lot of pearl earrings in my lifetime!!

Bert, thank you for raising a reader!
