Badger was talking about Betty McDonald last month and both TW and I said “We need to read those!”… I’m not sure why I said such a thing since I am not even a Mrs Piggle Wiggle fan but I have that weird crush on Badger so that probably explains it. Anyway, our library only had The Egg & I, which I immediately reserved.
It arrived a couple of weeks ago and TW read it and laughed all of the way through it. I, however, did not laugh my way through it. I fumbled my way through it. Chuckled every now and then. And kept putting it down and looking longingly at the other stacks of books waiting to be read. It was slow. It wasn’t all that funny. I was annoyed with just about every character. And yet, now that I’m finished with it, I’m finding more to be amused about.
I do know that I will never live on a chicken farm. With a man. Ever.
