If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

Elizabeth needed to buy Charlotte a birthday present for - well, for her birthday (duh!). When asked what Charlotte liked, I interrupted before E could respond. "Does she like webs?" I asked. Elizabeth — strangely — ignored my comment. So I repeated, "Does she like webs?" Again E didn't respond. I added, "Because there's a book called Charlotte's Web!"
I don't understand why people don't appreciate my ideas. I am terribly helpful at times.
