When it comes to the internet, I am a big fan. I can stalk, I mean, keep in touch with old friends, shop without my two amazing children displaying their lung power in a public arena and perhaps best of all I can unleash the inner-workings of my quirky brain onto my unsuspecting blog reading public. But let’s be honest, the internet isn’t all rainbows and kittens.
My mother loves books. And she loves to share her favorite books with those she loves. It’s pretty handy really as I don’t have much free time to read. She screens them and sends the helpful ones my way. I am currently reading about how to draw boundaries in my life, which has been very eye opening even if I am as of now, still incapable of saying no. When she stumbled upon a great internet deal involving a discount and a credit card, she did some research, signed up and ordered her books. This morning they arrived in two boxes!
The first box contained a few devotionals and various assundry writings about how to save the world by showing Christ’s love to one person at a time (my mother is a saint in the making). The second box, well, it housed something quite different. She picked up the first sealed book and just assumed from the title that it was about cats. The second selection had a picture on the cover with the title, Cats Cats Cats Galore. (Okay so that’s my own edited title because frankly the idea of a purple bra makes me blush. I cannot type that word!) Needless to say, the picture on the cover was not that of a cat.
Tomorrow my mom will be making a whole bunch of calls to her credit card company hoping to get an actual living breathing human being on the line to make sure she wasn’t charged for the pornographic material. Then she will be burning a couple books.
