They've already removed the cellophane and wrapped it. Now to find 2 hours

kids for a coupleof hours Smile

Of course, if my oldest had already read some Pratchett, it would be much

The only reason he hasn't read any yet, is because when we go looking for
some we get distracted by other books Smile
