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.
wah
