"Am I my...WHAT?"

David, Joe and I were at a meeting with Kathie, the director of David's school. She wanted him to begin reading a book called Procrastination. Since she had recommended it earlier, I said I had already purchased it (but had also procrastinated on reading it...). So Kathie told him to borrow my copy.

I added (half-jokingly), "I'll get it to him...if I don't procrastinate and forget."

She turned to him and said, "You make sure your mother gets you this book."

David drew back, as if affronted: "Am I my mother's book-keeper??"

PS the book is actually really good:
