Amusement on Amazon

[errantember]

I just wrote this to an independent bookseller on Amazon. The rest of the story tells itself!

Writing this was unnecessary, but I think you'll find it amusing.

During my childhood, The Poky Little Puppy was my absolute favorite book. I recently found a copy at a local bookstore and bought it. Re-reading it, it rang a few bells, but I wasn't really emotionally connected to the experience. What I *really* needed was to hear my mother reading it *to* me. At first I was going to ship her my copy and ask her to record herself reading it, but then I though, shit, I can get it on Amazon for less than the cost of mailing it with no trip to the post office. So I ordered the copy for her from you. Then, a few days later, I got an order from Amazon. It was the Poky Little Puppy! My first assumption was that I had made an error in the address in my order to you. I went and checked, and, Lo and Behold, the address was correct! So I fired up this message to complain, but decided to double-check the receipt on the copy I just got.

And it was from my Mom. A completely unrelated order!

So you're doing great, helping people re-connect with their favorite childhood memories.

Carry on!
