Daily Reading

King of Wands:

A father leads his children down a path. They cling to him with excitement. Somehow, while teaching his children important lessons, he makes it fun.

Since my dad doesn't live with us, I've always taken his role. I've been the tough punishment type and my mom is the soft one to my younger brother. I've always tried to set good examples for him without meaning to. I've bossed him around, not because some find it fun, but because he needed it. He turned out smarter because of it. He actually learned something. When we were little kids, I even taught him schoolwork by playing teacher with a mini chalkboard and decks. His teachers reported back to my mom that he didn't lose knowledge over the summer because of my tactics. I was around 11 when we started doing that. I thought it was fun, but as the years went by, it was needed.
