After finishing my read of Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, I was so excited to go to the bookshop and get another one to read. I was choosing between The Lucky Ones of Nich Sparks and Middlesex of Jeffrey Eugenides and finally decided to get the latter. Both are interesting though except for the price so I will just ask my friends to get me Spark's for Christmas.
Anyways, my story ain't about that. As I was paying it, with much conviction I told the staff that I am a bookshop member and if they honor it for the item. He asked me to present my card and I did it with delight. I was halfway pulling it from my wallet when he saw something that made him to react with humility, "I'm sorry Sir this is not Times, it's MPH."
"Oh I'm so sorry. I had a long day. Blame it on my work but I'm deeply sorry", I said.
I was apologetic and to my embarassment, I strode myself away from the cashier and went across back to our coffee table in Gloria Jeans, to where we ate non-Gloria Jeans food.
Another book to read, another story to kid.
