I Like It When

THERE was a 20% discount at Borders today so I took Z there to check out the children's books.

We were flipping through a pile when suddenly, Z walks off with one in her hand.

She makes her way to the end of the children's section, sits down on a step and begins to read avidly.

I thought: How cute. I'll buy that book for her.

Then I realise, we already have it. It's her favourite one which I read to her before she sleeps at night.

I just couldn't interest her in another book - and she just refused to give it up.

We nearly had to buy a book we already have!
