A timely meme

So I got tagged by a book meme by my mother at News of the Boobs. These are the rules:
* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the next two to five sentences in your blog along with these instructions.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
* Tag five other people to do the same

So the closest true book is. . . . . . . . . . . . .Josefina Javelina: A Hairy Tale, by Susan Lowell and Illustrated by Bruce MacPherson

There is no page 56, so I'll work with page 5.

"Pasadena!' she cried. That's right next door to HOLLYWOOD!" And she burst out singing: "Let me go where the grass is greener!
I'll pack my tutu and concertina
And hit the road to Pasadena!"

So there you have it. Not the glamorous life of the intellectual, but the life of a mother and son who got his first Library card yesterday. This is one of the books he chose to check out. The other, of course, was about pirates.
