Some people are odd. They forget their pen at home and they want to use yours (tu). Then they put your pen in their pocket! They probably think what is minę is minę and what is yours is minę as well. That bothers me. My good friend Paul is an example. He reads my books all the time. If I cannot find a book of minę, I know it is at PauPs house or in his office. Where is our bilingual dictionary? It is not on my desk. It is on his desk, of course. And where is President Kennedy’s biography? No, it is not at our municipal library. It is on that desk of his, in his den. Our nephew Allan always buys books for my birthday. If Paul is here, he reads my books first. Is Paul absent-minded? Probably. But I am annoyed. I want my books. They are minę!
