Cover Reveal and What's in Your Drawer?



Before I begin my story, I wanted to let you know about a new book that will be released in a few weeks. It's called, Hot Pink in the City, and it's by my blogger friend, Medeia Sharif. I've read a few of her books. They're very good - ones that would appeal to Young Adult readers. She's a very talented, hard-working writer.  I'm sure this book will be excellent, too!

HOT PINK IN THE CITY, Prizm Books, 2015

Author: Medeia Sharif

Release date: August 19, 2015

 

Asma Bashir wants two things: a summer fling and her favorite '80s songs. During a trip to New York City to stay with relatives, she messes up in her pursuit of both. She loses track of the hunk she met on her airplane ride, and she does the most terrible thing she could possibly do to her strict uncle…ruin his most prized possession, a rare cassette tape. A wild goose chase around Manhattan and Brooklyn to find a replacement tape yields many adventures—blackmail, theft, a chance to be a TV star, and so much more. Amid all this turmoil, Asma just might be able to find her crush in the busiest, most exciting city in the world.

Now for the story:
 
I was putting my son's clothes away last night. When I opened his sock drawer, I saw something very strange. A toasted bagel.
"Bubba," I called. "Why is there a bagel in your drawer?"
He came in and looked at it. "I don't know how that got there."
"You don't know how it got there?" I asked. "Well, dude, it didn't just walk in there. And how many times have I told you not to bring food into your bedroom? You're going to end up with ants in your pants!"
He made a face. 
"What were you trying to do?" I asked.
"I was cleaning up. You always tell me to put things in my drawers, so I was doing it just like you said!"
Oy!

    Nice try for a save, Bubba, but you're still not supposed to have a bagel in your room.

      My boy is not getting a mini fridge in his room! That would be another thing that would need cleaning!

    1. Honestly, I don't know what he was thinking. Maybe he figured I wouldn't see it, and he could have it for a midnight snack.
