This is what you do so that you get to read it first. callandor1000 Send a noteboard - 06/03/2011 04:44:29 PM
The day before, July 11th, go to a Target or Walgreens or CVS or some such place and get one of those Visa gift cards. Put like $75 on it. Next day, go buy the book. Then, print up a little flier for her favorite shoe store about some imaginary sale that requires her to hand the flier at the time of checkout. The flier should say "All Shoes $5". Then let her loose. Don't tell her teh card only has $75 on it. By the time she figures it all out, she'll only have gotten one pair of shoes and you'll be half way through the book.

Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.

My mind isn't always in the gutter, it just has VIP access
