The Loser's Guide To Life And Love (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
“Hello?” “Scout! Thank goodness you’re home!” It’s my mom, calling from work and sounding desperate. “I forgot to pick up Benny’s new contacts at the eye doctor on my lunch break. Can you get them for me, then FedEx a package off to Brazil this afternoon?” I groan a little. I hate it when I have to run errands for Mom. “Please, Scout? Benny’s sick of bumping into banana trees because he can’t see.” I laugh in spite of myself. “The doctor’s office is by the Foothill Branch Library, Scout,” Mom wheedles. “You know where that is, don’t you?” Of course I do. It’s not far from Ed’s house. Mom still wheedles. “You might find something new there you’d like to read”—she lowers her voice here—“…if you know what I mean.” I know EXACTLY what she means. “Fine,” I huff, totally hating myself for being addicted to love of the Regency romance variety. “I’ll take care of it.” Mom laughs and says good-bye. I hang up (hard) and stare at the phone, thinking how much I hate it when mothers exploit the weaknesses of their children to accomplish their own ends.
