Y'know, something jogged my memory the other day and I realized-- my fourth grade teacher read a chapter a day every day all year.... Lotsa books... Charlotte's Web, Charlie & The Choc Factory, James and the Giant Peach, The Trumpeter Swan... The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe... and (drumroll).... The Hobbit.

Ooooh, Yeeeeaaaaah.

Really, really cool teacher! Wish I could remember her name...

So I guess I "met" Bilbo two years earlier than I thought I did. I guess I won't "count" the years til I read it myself, though...
