Has reading ever gotten you in trouble?

There was a time, back when I was in elementary school, when I stayed up past my bed time to read a book. Now, I don’t remember what book I was reading, I just remember getting caught. Besides being up past my bed time, my dad lectured me on trying to read in the dark and how that would ruin my eye sight.

Other than that, I don’t remember ever getting into trouble for reading. If I was reading in class, it was because the teacher(s) allowed it. There were times when the teachers let us reading in class. If you happen to finish a test and some of your fellow classmates are still taking their test, normally the teacher wouldn’t care if you pulled out a book to read. It kept you quiet and you didn’t disturb those around you while they’re testing.

  1. I can’t say that reading has ever got me into any trouble. My family was always quite supportive of me reading a lot and they loved that I read a lot as it helped me not only in school but it also helped my vocabulary as well.

    Even on a night, I would read and if I accidentally went past my bedtime they wouldn’t really be annoyed with me but they would tell me to set myself some pages and stick to that to read and then sleep so that I didn’t sleep late.
