I might have to spend a summer teaching my kids about it.

I sometimes switch back and forth between the two from line to line or word to word, but I would say most often when I do take time to sit down and write (rather than type) cursive flows more freely than does my choppy printed handwriting. I certainly plan to pass on to my children the art of reading & writing personalized, flowing cursive scripts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316320504737882598noreply@blogger.com
