What Every Woman Should Do Once
My parents were nice enough to bring me the rest of my library.
Yep, books. My companions on this journey of growth.
At the bottom of a box, I found a little gift book -- one of those 5-dollar mini books near the check-out counter at Barnes and Noble -- titled "What Every Woman Should Do Once."
This is the advice it offers:
Make up an alias.
Skinny dip.
Insist on being called "Your Majesty".
Sleep out under the stars.
Start with dessert.
