Same. And my punishment used to be no reading. My mother used to have to force me out of the house away from my books when I was a kid.

Little did she know I'd go next door and just pick up a book there LOL

I'd get in trouble for being up all hours reading. I tried to be so sneaky about it, too.

I always had at least one book and a flashlight by my bed, that I'd hide and read under the covers after lights out. There were times that I had 2-3 books and flashlights just in case I was caught...the worse was when I was caught more then once a night LOL.

ditto. my mom learned quickly to keep an eye on where my books were... i'd read when i should be cleaning or sleeping haha

besides, as much as i loved them, threatening to take away my barbie dolls just wasn't enough to scare me.
