On my last day in Birmingham, Mandy and I (along with Luke of course) visited my mom and dad. Even though they are going through some really rough times, they are always fun to talk to because they always look to the humorous side of stuff.
Anyways, I noticed a book on the coffee-table and opened it to read the inside cover. Mandy saw me and asked me what I thought of it. I know that the inside cover is designed to sell a book but this one owned me. I asked my mom if I could borrow it for the trip. Mom turned to Mandy who looked at me and said," I just brought that for your mother, You carried it in."
Short term memory aside, I borrowed the book anyways and boy, am I glad that I did.
"Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris is one of the funniest books I have read ever. I do quite a bit of reading on a regular basis but nothing in my short term memory has made me laugh out loud this much.
Yes, there is foul language and yes, there is some questionable content but hey, this is what we grow up with. If you can't laugh at this world, how do you expect to enjoy the next?
Please, for your sake, go get this book or order it, or borrow it at the library so I will have someone to laugh with.
