"JOHN, for heaven's sake, why can't you just talk to me once in a while?" whined¹ Mary.

"Hun?" John responded.

"Look around you!" she yelled as she pointed² around the room. "All these books! Your head is always buried in books! You don't even know I'm alive!""Oh. I'm sorry.""You know sometimes I wish I were a book. Then you'd at least look at me.""Hmmm," John mumbled³ in deep thought, "that's not a bad idea. Then I could take you to the libraryevery few days and change you for something more interesting."
