So, somehow, a lot of my family didn't know I was writing a book or getting it published(basically, no one there except my grandparents, mom, and sis.) So my youngest cousin, let's call her M, get's really happy. Here's the closest thing I remember to this little conversation. Grandma is grandma, A is my boy cousin, M is my girl cousin, and Me is me. obviously.
M: So I can tell my friends that my cousin is actually getting a book published in book stores?
Me: Uh...not yet. I'm not really sure yet.
Grandma: So do you need to take it somewhere?(as in, in person.)
Me: No, yiayia(I'm Greek, that's Greek for grandma if you didn't know), I can do the whole thing on the internet!
Grandma: Well, tell me if you need to pay for anything, I will pay for it.
A: Did you already get the publishers?
Me: Not yet...I'm editing.
Grandma, to A, as I say 'I"m editing': No, she's editing it.
A: What's it about?
Me: A gir-
A: I'm not buyin it! I'm not buyin it!(joking)
I felt special :D I can't remember the rest of the questions. What I do remember a lot of was 'she's writing a book? Katie, you're writing a book?' 's. Yeah. I still felt special :D I'm RARELY the center of attention with my family, and I usually don't like it, but right then, I felt special. Especially since M was so excited about it. That REALLY made me happy.
