Neon’s A Doll A Day… Again (2020)

[davidd]

Insert long rant about how almost no one knows how to properly open a book spine nowadays.  I show people now & then at the library.  I've met maybe 2 or 3 people, ever, who already knew. 

When I was in elementary school, probably first grade, the teacher took our class to the library to learn how to open a new book properly. Each of the students was given a brand new paperback book, and we followed along as the librarian demonstrated the proper way to open a book for the first time. I have always remembered that lesson, and on the rare occasion that I open a new book for the first time, I make sure to follow the steps we were taught.

It's true: education was better in "the olden days."
