Never fear, Alice Toolie, of course I remembered! The only thing is – and don’t get upset – I just brought in one book. But don’t worry! There is a very, VERY good reason for this. It turns out (and you’re not going to believe this … because it’s the weirdest thing) that books are really heavy! I mean, REALLY heavy. One is fine, but once you start carrying four or five you can only walk like one step before you fall over. They weigh a tonne! It’s like water. You think it’s going to be really light because rain doesn’t hurt, but then you try to pick up an above-ground swimming pool at your cousin’s birthday party one time and you nearly break your arms! It’s impossibly heavy!
Yours fluidly,
