Book Group

by carolynholm

Dear Mia,

What have you done with my Kindle?

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Your Kindle?

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

Don’t play innocent with me. I saw you checking it out. You have done something with it.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

I thought it was our Kindle!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

No it’s not. It’s mine. And I need it to finish the book I’m reading.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Why you are in such a hurry to finish your book?

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

Because my book group is meeting tonight and this is the book we’ll be discussing.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

You discuss the books? I want to come to book group!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

I’m certain that is not a good idea.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

I would talk about the lack of diversity in fiction.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

The lack of diversity?

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Species diversity. When is the last time a cat had a starring role in a novel? Or a short story? Not to mention, when is the last time you even came across a cat reference?

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

Off the top of my head, I can’t think of one. But I’m sure there are dogs and cats in many, many books.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

I don’t mean books in general. I’m talking about fiction.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

Okay, I’m sure there are dogs and cats in many works of fiction.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Dogs sure, but cats? No. I challenge you to find them.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

I hadn’t really thought about it. But I’m sure there’s a cat or two.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Not like there are in non-fiction. There are a lot of non-fiction cat books.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

I don’t know what you are complaining about. You are all over social media.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

True. We own social media. Now we want to take over your Kindle.

Love, Mia
