Having worked as a preschool teacher for eight years and having two boys of my own, I've done a lot of reading to kids and, occasionally, I've read aloud to my wife. I really like reading things to people but I hate listening to other people read. For some reason, my brain is unable to keep its attention on the words -- I'll continually wander off in my thoughts unless I really, really concentrate on whatever it is that's being read to me. I've gotten better at it as I've gotten older (when I was a kid I couldn't do it at all -- I just daydreamed too much) but it's still not something I really enjoy.
