Phone call

I forgot to mention, I got a phone call this morning from the West Bend Public Library and got my first glimpse into how I'll feel when Max hits adolescence.

Me: Hello?
Them: Hi. This is the West Bend Library. Are you Max's mom?
Me: (Panic! Maybe. Who wants to know?) Yes.
Them: He was chosen as the Reader of the Week this week. Congratulations! We have a bag of prizes for him. Will you be in this week so we can take his picture?
Me: (Whew!) Sure! I'll be in tomorrow with him.

Abby: What? I've been reading a ton every day and he doesn't even read. And he wins? Are you kidding me??
Me: Yup. Life's not fair.
