Reply to Father and son, who has cerebral palsy, defy odds to take on Ironman triathlons: "Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn" by AmethystOrator

> When Jeff swims, he pulls Johnny. When Jeff runs, he pushes Johnny. And when Jeff bikes, he hauls his son.

> Their bond is as strong as iron — tempered by love.

> "I mean, I'm not a fan of swimming, biking or running, which is perfect for triathlon," Jeff told CBS News, laughing. "This probably wouldn't be in the top 100 things I would select to do. ... I'm not doing it because I love it. This is Johnny's dream and I'm giving him the legs and the power to do it."

Best part of their story to me.

Reply to [NPR] visited R.L. Stine's house for Goosebumps' 30th birthday by AmethystOrator

> In a way, Stine is in a sweet spot with his audience — his original fan base is now old enough to be sharing "Goosebumps" with their own kids. "You get old. That's a tough pill to swallow," he says. "Terrible. But what a thrill. I get to scare a lot of generations, don't I?"

I always enjoy hearing about parents passing down their love of anything to their children, but it's extra great when it comes to reading.
