I've often wondered what it would be like to have kids that all sat criss-cross-applesauce and listened silently while I read to them. Instead this is what it generally looks like- one is shoving a banana into her mouth and swinging the peel in front of my face while the other is doing trust falls backwards into my lap and the oldest is bouncing off the couch onto the floor all while I'm struggling to read the words off the book which is like a moving target 🥴
