I understand ... but that's just the way I am. I'm constantly loaning out things to friends. However, I always make the loan understanding completely that if it comes back damaged, or doesn't come back at all .... that's my problem. So, I never loan anything out that I wouldn't be willing to make a gift.
Mrs. Moon is one of the dearest people in the world. I know she won't abuse the loan ... and it's really the only way to find out if she would get any use out of a Kindle. I don't want her family to buy her one, and then she's too tense to use it ... that would just be a complete waste of money. The whole Moon family are people that I would give my life for ... so loaning them my Kindle, that's a small thing really.
I told her that if she doesn't like it, she should just call me and I'll come over and take it back. She hasn't called, so I think she's probably merrily reading her way through "Duma Key."
