Status Updates From The Sea Is All Around

Aunt Belinda and Mab are reading David Copperfield together!

From a mom with four rowdy children: “‘As for me I’m going into my room and lock both doors and put cotton in my ears so I can’t hear you, no matter what happens, and then I’m going to read a book until your father comes home.’ She turned on them all a radiant and loving smile, and went upstairs humming to herself” (92).

The Christmas chapter was delightful!

“Mab’s middle felt like the middle of a doughnut: empty” (30).

“Mab opened the china cupboard and took all the dishes by surprise. The teacups were hung on hooks and all their mouths were open saying ‘Oh!’” (29).
