Hooray It Is the Readers Digest

Hooray! The Reader’s Digest arrived today!
I tear the cellophane open, eager to begin my big read.
There are mites on every page.
Troops of mites in a line, marching along.
Where are the words?
I show the book to my husband.
Those are the words, he says.
Now I am irritated that I argued we did not need to order the Big Print

LOL. Send it back for the large print one and tell them it was full of mites. Then get ready to be transported to the looney bin! Good one, Caren.
