If you do read the newspaper along with me, our numbers are dwindling.But I’m here to promote the newspaper as great family fun!
Oh, I know computers are wonderful. Yes, I have USA Today on my iPod Touch, and I do peruse it from time to time.
But nothing beats sitting around lazily with a cup of coffee and saying, “Hmm, did you read this, honey?” and passing the paper to your spouse.
Or grabbing a pencil and working the crossword or Jumble with your teen.
Or giggling over the funny papers with your young reader.
The newspaper is hands-on. There’s much to be said for reading it together. And making paper hats or boats from it. Or wrapping fun little presents in it. Or cutting words from it and making your own family newspaper.
You don’t subscribe? Take a trip to the store and buy a paper together. Then sit down, spread it out, divvy it up, and have some fun family time!
