Reading causes problems with teenagers

Mr. and Mrs. Jones from Seattle got home from the movies one night to find some very disappointing results. Their oldest son Matthew was sitting on the couch reading a book and he wasn't sure where his younger siblings were.

Mr. Jones said, "We're very disappointed with our son, we expected him to be taking good care of his siblings but instead we found him just sitting on his lazy but reading The Grapes of Wrath."

Mrs. Jones said "I've always been jealous of our neighbors the Johnson's, when their oldest son babysits he turns on the TV and he and his siblings watch reruns of Spongebob for hours and they have a secure feeling of what their young children are doing, I don't think they've ever had to tell their children to stop reading and I wish my children where more like that."

Home is not the only place where reading is causing problems, according to the CDC the percentage of childhood obesity is skyrocketing and kids that stay inside all day just reading for hours is certainly not helping.
