I’m excited to announce that I learned a new skateboard trick. It involves getting 11-year-old Malcolm, avid skater/reluctant reader, to pick up the written word. My trick? Subscribing to Skateboard Magazine.
Trust me, he’s more thrilled with it than he appears to be in this photo.
Especially when Mag Swag is involved. Sick.
Carrying on a family tradition that extends back to his maternal grandmother, he is also excited every month when the new MAD Magazine arrives. The trick is to find stuff he wants to read. And then he will.
