Easy-to-do teatime:
Get a copy of Poetry Speaks to Children.
Pop in the CD.
Open the book to follow along.
Listen to Langston Hughes, Nikki Giovanni, J.R.R. Tolkien, Roald Dahl, Oden Nash, and Robert Frost, among others, read their poetry to you.
It's an amazing experience.
(I've gotta admit, the most memorable moment for me was realizing that Robert Frost read Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening in a totally different way than my mental version of it. On the other hand, Kid1 said Tolkein sounded exactly like what she expected.)

- I am quite average. Except for my height. And weight. And my TV viewing habits are sort of odd. And the general cluelessness about contemporary pop culture that flows from that lack of TV viewing. And let's not even get started about the way we eat around here, what with allergies and all, there's no way that's average. And then there's the whole homeschooling business ....
