the law is no protection
parents rule sometimes. my mom in particular.

I'm reading a book of James Baldwin essays and I'm almost done so I bought his first book, Go Tell it on the Mountain, on Amazon. then I called my mom and told her I was reading these essays, and it reminded us both that she'd bought a book for me at this used book store near her and forgotten to give it to me. turns out it was Go Tell it on the Mountain. I love my mom.

The only bummer about this story is that you bought it unnecessarily.

It's pretty cool that your mom knows your taste in books that well! Even if it was a guess...that's so great :)
