Mom: Well maybe they'll ask you if they can publish your book?
me: MOM. HA.
Mom: What?
me: I don't HAVE a book. I haven't written a book!
Mom: Well so what! Maybe they will ask you to write one!
me: LOL.
Mom: Well why not?!
me: Mom! What do you think they'll say, You have never written anything before, but we really like you! Here is money, write a book?

At the risk of this seeming like an attack against dear Meaghano, (I last night sleepily tried to type “Mealissao” into my address bar, apparently planning to check both of their tumblrs at once), I think these notes make Ms. Moore seem mostly pompous and boring.
