I slept in, and when I finally got up and went downstairs, I found Klara and her 7-year-old cousin perusing a thick tome of Greek myths. This is not a kids’ version. It’s written in the kind of language that even I have to consult the dictionary sometimes. The kids could have turned the TV or a gadget at any time because nobody was supervising but they chose true culture.
They are still reading the book, by the way, and are planning to drag it to the mall where we are going. People keep saying that there’s no need to teach the classics in college because students aren’t interested but it’s not true. Even first-graders dig the myths of antiquity.
