Stop Reading the Dictionary!?

So, recently I'm having a hard time getting the boys' attention or getting them to listen. And why, you may ask? Well, they won't stop reading the dictionary! Really, the dictionary! I don't know what is so exciting about the dictionary, but it must be so fascinating, that it is even causing wars between them.

They'll bring it in the van and then they are both fighting over who had it first and who was reading it.

Yes, the dictionary is following us everywhere. Into the stores and out on a walk.

I suppose this is a new thing. Before it was the brain teasers, atlases, and phone books that followed us everywhere we went. Alas, now it is the dictionary.

My son does this! When he started second grade he asked the teacher if he could read the dictionary as he was finishing all his work way before the rest of the class. The teacher said he was such an inspiration that she had to get more dictionaries as the whole class was now reading the dictionary on their free time.
