The book fairy visited school this past week.
As I was unloading the bag of books I had brought in, I noticed my mom had slipped in a few extra books. My favorite was a book on relationships for couples from the 80's with an ugly pink and purple cover. It screamed "Bring Sex Back to Your Marriage". I couldn't even think of why my mom even had the book- she was pregnant with my brother and sister during this decade.
There was no way I was taking the book up to my classroom.
I left it, and the other duds in the bag, thinking I'd bring it back with me to donate on the way home.
Teachers are nosy, by nature, and raided the books, and emptied bag. Most of the books, even a few duds, were gone and will be at new homes. Sweet success. Not so sweet, the couples book was still sitting pretty, center of the table.
I'm sure my co-workers were wondering, "Who the hell would bring a book like that to donate to book basket?" That would be me, Grace.
