Must Resist Impulse Buying

My Inner Child and Responsible Adult get into an argument while I´m in a bookstore.

Ooh! It´s the entire Abhorsen trilogy in Spanish!

No.

But...but...I could get any of the three books! And they have the original pretty covers!

You won´t get around to reading any of them before going home.

I could.

You bought El lion, la bruja y el armario in January. Have you gotten past Chapter Two?

...no...

No more books for you, then.

But it´s a book! I need it!

You´ve already spent more money than you planned on. And you still have to pay for two more months of using the Metro.

I don´t like you.

Does it look like I care? And anyway, you have to be able to bring home all your purchases, and hardcovers take up too much room.

But there´s all three books! I could buy just Sabriel.

We´re leaving. Now.
