“I was busy… oh so busy…”

“With what?” you ask incredulously.

“With my book writing,” I counter your question.

You lift your arms in the air in the same way Joy from Inside Out might do.

“When is the book out?” you ask me, grinning broadly.

“I need to wait for it to be checked over…” I say.

“Who’s doing that?” you ask.

You listen with growing excitement to the story. Your eyes shine with happiness because you realise this was just the book you were after as a good bedtime story.

“You’ll keep that a secret until the book is released, will you?” I ask.

“My lips are sealed,” you say, “But won’t the other readers get jealous not knowing what I know?”

“Noo….They’ll buy the book on the release day, and then YOU get to share the fun of reading with them all,” I reply.

“I think I WILL buy the book, and I will tell all my friends, family and people at work to do the same,” you say.
