Oh
boy oh boy oh boy!!!! Guess what I did today? It was so excittting!! Except for
the part where my fun got abruptly ended for getting in trouble, but let me
tell you what happened!
So...early in the morning (around five-thirty or so), my Mother came in on her morning inspection of my room. Only when she came in this morning, instead of pointing out my dusty shelves or wrinkles in my bedspread, she told me that she was letting me out of the house today!!! Yes!!! We were going to the library!
This was sooo awesome to hear. I like never get let out of the house. My parents think that I might get exposed to the world or something like that, but I never question their judgment. Anyways, the trip to the library started out awesome! I totally headed for my favorite section (ignoring a couple of teenagers holding hands! -10000 points. I was mentally judging them for the rest of the day...). When I got to the reference section, I immediately grabbed my favorite books: a copy of "1001 English Verbs" and "Word Etymology". Oh those are keepers! They've been on my wish list for years. :)
Anyways, while engrossed in my light reading, one of the..."terrible books"...caught my eye. It was...it was...Harry Potter! I was amazed that a public library would carry a book THAT sinful. But then - at the very moment, my Mother noticed my wide-eyed glance and followed it...right to the Harry Potter book. It was over right then and there. I pleaded against a public spanking, but I got one nonetheless. But at least I got to be free for a little.
