The first thing my mom and I did in America was head to Sam’s. She had to pick some things up, so I tagged along.

Costco exists in Japan, and my parents are also members of Costco.

Sam’s is the Walmart version of Costco.

I’m always interested in the books there. I actually considered buying the “Good Night Dallas/Fort Worth” and “Good Night Texas” but I didn’t because my son is fifteen. See, I am not a true book addict. I can stop any time.

I checked out their bestseller books. Did not buy anything. See, I’ve got it under

control. Can stop any time. Yep.
