Ways to avoid people: Read a book?


Tonight while at my daughter's soccer game I kept having 'chatty moms' gather around me. I don't mean to sound like a complete cow but I'm there to watch my girl play soccer, not gossip and make friends. Looking to the right of me I noticed that a girl was 'reading' a book. Occasionally she'd look down at the text but for the most part she was just holding it up and looking over the top of it. That and it was Lord of the Rings (who hasn't read or seen the movie by now?). Just as this great idea was sinking in it wasn't two minutes later that she was being swarmed by a bunch of kids looking at her book and trying to read the cover.


Yah, so much for that idea...
