  2. Oh, that is rich. Truly.

    I absolutely love it!

    (I'm so glad there's a place in cyberspace where other people have as perverse a sense of humor as I do... or reasonably close...)

    Thank you, Susan. Thank you, MadPriest. Thank you Messrs Mansbach and Cortés. And a very warm thank you to Samuel Jackson. Great performance!

  6. It is hilarious, and Samuel really makes it a masterpiece.

    (being a kindergarten teacher, I REALLY shouldn't be liking such books, BUT...I can't help it!)

  8. I adore my daughter. Everybody who knows me knows that I adore my daughter. But this had me rolling on the floor.

  9. This is what I was telling myself the other night when Joe was out at show site until 3am.

    And...Happy Birthday! :)

  10. I played this for my sons and dau-in-law after the grand babies went to play last night. Five adults in total laughter convulsion land! What a hoot!

    FWIW
