when you were a kid, Can't remember if that was direct from the Dick and Jane books - with a few intermediate picture books in-between - you'd hear the older kids talk about them, part of the mystery of life growing up. And then you're there, that step in life and then later one day you move on, when did that happen? Some kids had read all the books and jumped to something different without realizing they were saying goodbye. Still, a life event for many people, their first real experience reading a relatively complex storyline.
