The only way I can read the papers
I have a habit of reading newspapers on the floor. But nowadays it is not so easy to read anymore as I have an ‘inspector‘ who will inspect the paper and stand or sit on it as he wishes (especially when I am reading!).
In order to keep him occupied and not disturb me when I am reading, I always have a pen handy to circle words that he knows and let him read it. He finds it fascinating to be able to read words from the newspaper and will at least stay focus on those words for at least a couple of minutes each page. That is enough for me to browse thru interesting topics of the day.
When I am on the comics page, what I normally do is draw funny faces on the comic characters and somehow that tickles his fancy! He will smile or chuckle looking at those funny faces and when he is done, I am done reading too!
