I once pirated a book because I didn’t want to get it from another room.

    I remember when my grandfather died, we were going through his belongings and found a drawer full of electric razors. Why did he have so many?!? Then we noticed every one was full of hair, and concluded that he bought a new one every time it filled up rather than emptying it.

    Then years later, my parents became snowbirds who went to Mexico every winter, and they stayed with this other family who were locals. They got good at Spanish and one day I guess, my dad was talking to the other dad and they burst out laughing. I asked what that was all about, and he said the Mexican dad’s father also had a drawer full of electric razors, and he never understood why?
