She said I was a walking advertisement for parents reading to their children.
What she meant was that here I was at the Book Fair, with the most massive canvas bag ever all full of books, gloating over them with unbecoming smugness and trying to massage feeling back into my legs after spending three hours standing and walking and crawling on the floor in order to find hardback copies of books I want to keep forever and store in my parents' house where they will weigh down the foundations of the house until I get my own apartment. Frankly, I think that makes me more of a cautionary tale.
