Dear Dad: How flexible are you?
Dec 21st, 2007 by Edward Pollard
Whilst stuck in a throng of holiday shoppers, my adorable sister in law gave me a call from her local bookseller to ask for some ideas. I had no problems generating a series of great ideas, but she went on and on. So when she at last asked for a recommendation for her father, I replied quickly: “The Kama Sutra“.
“How do I spell that?”, she asks having no idea what it is. I spell it out while she enters it in to the computer in store. “There are a whole bunch“, she reports. “Oh its like a series,” I say, “You can get any one.”
So I later find out it goes down like this. She grabs the nearest employee for help in locating a book. She says she is interested in the Kama Sutra, to which the employee shyly responds “Is there a particular title you are interested in?”.
She says: “No, it doesn’t matter. It’s for my dad.”
Once escorted to the Sex and Sexuality section she quickly becomes mortified and calls me back screaming.
Happy Christmas, everyone.
Brillz!
A+++++++++ would read again!!!!!!
I’m still not sure how sure managed to miss the fact that I was completely busting up in the background, making it nearly impossible for Ed to keep a straight face on the phone….ahh, the innocence of youth.
++ for Ed.
Big jerk
And that little episode is the only thing keeping me smiling whilst I am STILL wading through scores and scores of holiday shopping.
So if nothing else Big Bro, thanks for the perpetual holiday pick-me-up!
