Shopping For A Loved One

She fondled the book, flipped through it, and smelled the scent that only pages of a book can give off. "You may not want to buy that for your niece. It's classic literature, but it's full of sexuality." The woman looked at her and said, "There's nothing she can learn from a book that she doesn't already know." Years later, the woman's niece would tell her one night stand that she did this kind of thing because of a Dickens' book she related to.

This is a wake-up call for those of you who assume things that they probably shouldn't :) I also like your one-hitters. They're unpredictable and highly entertaining.

Makes me think of how impressionable people really are. I like the irony. It's short, relatable, a little comic and sad at the same time. I love your one-hitters, it's the little thoughts and ideas like this that need to be captured more often.
