holy cow, $15.95?

Meet the newest book in our household:

"Machines at Work: Bulldozers," a 24-page hardcover masterpiece at $15.95 is the most expensive children's book we own. For me, who tends to buy second-hand books for 69 cents from Value Village, this was a big purchase.

If you, unlike me, would like to stay away from the expensive books, here is some advice:

When your child has a really bad diaper rash and isn't feeling well, and you decide to let said child run around diaper-less to "air out" the area, please realize that even if you have a cloth diaper nearby to catch accidents that you are not fast enough to catch accidents, and please consider that when your bottom-less child wishes to sit down with you and read books that you read books you actually own instead of library books. Because purchasing a library book from the actual library due to a "biological incident" on said book is unfavorable and akin to highway robbery.

That's all. Just some advice. Anyone want to borrow our new book? (Yeah, didn't think so.)
