Book Quoting vs. Book Throwing

Alex quotes books in much the same way that Adam and I quote TV shows.  She has a talent for memorizing the words and working them into her day.  This especially holds true for a book about rules:  “No Biting.  What can you bite?  An Apple.”  Such a great book (No Biting! by Karen Katz) for ilustrating the judgement of behavioral decisions.  So armed with my book, I have a quick fix for Owen’s pinching of my face.  I would read the book of some general rules to the little pincher and he would learn right and wrong much like Alex did.  I read 2 words of the book and he took the book and threw it across the room.  Point taken.
