Someone can't count...

I may be five stars behind EG but there was satisfaction today. EG has spent the last few months lining up her stars on the chart, in a manner that she thought was very careful. I observed that she had lined them up in rows of eight, and although I thought it odd that she had said that she was planning to line them up in rows of ten, I said nothing. Today it transpires that this was not deliberate. The neighbours are now probably aware that EG has not read the thirty two books she had thought she had read, but instead has only read twenty six. What makes it worse is that EG has been telling people that she has read thirty two. I may be losing but I am smug.
