It was my absolute joy today to sit at the Playhouse and listen to my little friend Tamar read out loud to me the story she has a test on tomorrow. Uncle Jed's Barbershop. She's a great reader for her age and the story was pretty good too. I admit that I had to raise an eyebrow at the fact that though she stumbled over words like "though" and "lather" she didn't miss a beat on "segregation."
