In the Bookstore
Published Apr 05, 2003
A friend and her young son, Reid, were browsing in a large bookstore. Engrossed in making a selection, my friend had lost sight of her child. "Reid!" she called out, noticing the boy was missing. "Reid!"
Just as she spotted her son in the next aisle, she bumped into another customer. "Pardon me, ma'am," he said, "but most folks come here because they already like to read. No sense wasting your time trying to convince them."
