Adventures With My Tea Muse - Bookstores Part One
Me: (slowly closing my latest read and staring off into space) Oh. My. Goodness.
Tea Muse: (looking up from her Tea Cutie magazine) What? Oh, you finally finished that book, huh? How was it?
Me: (still staring off into space) I need a strong cup of green tea after what I've been through.
Tea Muse: Coming right up! (snapping her fingers and a cup of perfect temperature sencha appears on the side table)
Me: (taking the cup and drinking it all in one sip) Ahhhh, much better. Hmmm, seeing as how I've finished it . . . .
Tea Muse: That means . . . a trip to the BOOKSTORE! Whoo hoo! Which one are we going to today?
Me: What about the one down the street? They have a good selection!
Tea Muse: (frowning) Nah, I don't like that one.
Me: Why not?
Tea Muse: You don't remember? They have a NO IMAGINARY FRIENDS policy! Ugh, don't you remember that I had to wait in the car while you shopped?!
Me: (staring at her in silence, then cackling) Are you serious?? I really don't remember that! I thought you were just being quiet! And why would a bookstore, of all places, have a policy like that?
Tea Muse: I don't know either - a bookstore is nothing BUT imaginary places and friends!
Me: Hmmm, maybe WE need to talk with the owner about it. See what they've got to say for themselves.
Tea Muse: (a slow Cheshire Cat grin appearing on her face) I'll drive! (grabbing the car keys and disappearing)
Me: (hearing my car start) Damn it, wait!
