That woman in the grey jersey dress that looks like its stretched to its fullest was purdy sexy busting out of that dress. She is/was? pregnant. Hope she is and her baby (to be?) are healthy and happy!" —says/via Mister Mort

LIBROS SCHMIBROS —

"Just another Sunday here at Libros, where two teenage women hopped out of a waiting minivan. We opened the door, and one asked for How to Kill a Mockingbird — we obliged by giving her the book. Her companion asked for Like Water for Chocolate. Within one minute both jumped back in the vehicle, and their mom drove off."
