Drat, I clicked the link and it ate my comment. Grrr. I'd pick the Janet Evanovich (fiction paperbacks), if that's allowed. I have not read her romances, but her Stephanie Plum detective series is hilarious. Popcorn reading, but hilarious. Maybe the romances have some humor too. It will be no Jane Austen, but at least it won't take very long to read it.
Happy Birthday to Galagan! We're going to NJ tomorrow to visit R's relatives and I may not be able to e-mail on Thursday.
Per the bad playdate, for what it's worth, kids save their worst behavior for their families! Maybe she's feeling overwhelmed and venting and will, hopefully, stop soon. Try some sympathy and parenting tips. *Resolves not to act like her* I'm always venting so that I don't strangle Sarah, but she generally charms everyone she meets and is perfectly well behaved at school.
On a positive note (See me being cheerful?), I love Elena's stories! I did a round robin story with the kids at Sarah's preschool, and it went a lot like that. We had pirates, bunnies, palaces and pirate ships, sharks,superheros,and some kind of monster that ate everyone in the end. It was really funny :)
