Middle Lad must select a Biography to read for his Language Arts Class. Naturally, I assumed that he would read my Diary; afterall who could be more interesting to read about, indeed to learn from, than Me, Mulligan? My adventures provide an amazing assortment of ideas for a Project and/or Poster.
I led a deeply enriched life, enriched even more by the strange assortment of non-food objects that I ate.
Yet, No, Middle Lad insists upon heading out to the bookstore to purchase a book about some famous personage such as Einstein or Tolkein or Stalin.
My whole faith in Brotherly Love is Crushed.

Could you ask Middle Lad to read the biography about Nelson Mandela? It's called Long Walk to Freedom. Then if he could be so kind as to write a short summary for my Mom to read, so that she can finally say that she knows what that book (which has been sitting on her bookshelf for over 6 years) is about. It's all about the jealousy - he's just upset because you lived life to the fullest while he has just ho-hummed along.
