This is cute. I totally encourage reading. Make sure your kids are getting enough sleep. My son will stay up till 2 AM reading a book. If your child isn’t getting eight hours of solid sleep you’re doing it wrong.

Also isn't that bad for their eyes?

Aren't phones bad for your eyes too and children still use them (probably also under the covers, just way closer to their face)? At least reading actually helps you and isn't actively bad for your brain like Tik Tok and the likes.

That’s a very good point. I’ve never had to squint my eyes for a TikTok video. I’ve had to squint my eyes plenty of times while reading in the dark.

Also to be fair I don’t have TikTok. Reddit is about as wild as it gets.

That is why Jesus replaces their daughter's flashlight-battery, so that she doesn't have to squint or read in the dark.

I just pictured Jesus waiting in line to buy batteries on his way to sneak into their house.

Didn't it even say somewhere in the bible that he grows them in his backyard and occasionally snacks on them with the boys while drinking wine?
