The funniest thing I've ever read...

This book.

(Dear mom, you will not like this book. Love Manda)

Okay, let me just tell you, I laughed out loud (lol-ed!) like an idiot for the two days it took me to read this, and I didn't care. (If I didn't have kids I would have finished it in a day.) It was delightful.

I have probably annoyed Jon to no end by wanting to tell him all the funny parts. 

So let me tell you something about myself: I have a sense of humor. And this is not me being braggy. I realize that most people don't find me funny. (I find myself funny!) But I appreciate good humor, and it is important to me. My whole family is like that I think. Except they actually are funny. Seriously, my dad can make a pun from anything. I talk to them on Skype a lot recently (they are out of the country on a mission) and there has not been a single time I've talked to them when my dad has not made at least 2 punny jokes. You can tell how many he's told by how hard my mom rolls her eyes. My sister Lisa hurt her neck, so I've spent a few weekends at her house recently, and after we put the kids to bed we laugh all night long. So I need the humor in my life. 

I was going to write my favorite part, but there are just too many. So instead you can read the introduction here or listen to it here. Or do both! I bought the book, but I am considering buying the audiobook too, because it is awesome listening to Tina Fey read it. If you like the intro you will like the book. Buy it, or get on the waiting list at the library. Or I will loan it to you if you promise to give it back. And maybe leave something as collateral.
