Let's Pretend This Never Happened

Product Information

My father was one of those soldiers at the time, and when my mom told me this story as a teenager I pointed out that perhaps she should have appreciated my getting him off the streets like that. I have a lot of great stories, but none end with me being carried out on the shoulders of my peers to large crowds cheering. And worse than that, I just finished the last of 4 books that I brought with me on my kindle to keep me from going completely mad. So I learned Spanish (I actually have a degree in Spanish philology), went to study in Madrid, Spain when I was 20.

The way Lawson discusses peer pressure was something I also heavily related to since it’s not overt peer pressure. Apparently I was really distraught about this whole arrangement, because the very next week I shoved a broom into the living room furnace, set it on fire, and ran through the apartment screaming and swinging the flaming torch around my head. Ps I can’t freakin’ wait to read it and REALLY give my hubby a reason to think we’re both crazy as i read it and laugh like a hieana! I then went on a nice long speech about how awesome this book was and it was JUST a mouse, and on and on, hubby rolled his eyes and continued watching baseball.She grew up in Wall, Texas with a deeply practical mother and a taxidermist father who has a warped sense of humor and rarely gives a thought to normalcy or safety. These women are now some of her closest companions; she will never forget the impact they have had on her life and her mental health.

To hear my mother tell it, I was viciously brandishing it at her like she was Frankenstein’s monster and I was several angry villagers. I was truly disappointed by certain behavior of certain characters though… And I can’t say I was that much of a fan of either Morgan or Clara. How about putting my kid in a ballet dress and giving her a toy gun and putting her on top of a car, ready for the apocalypse? Obviously, Jenny struggles with being a parent at first and who doesn’t at this point and shares some extremely funny insights like sometimes forgetting she even had a baby.

It wasn’t that long ago I read Broken by Jenny Lawson and ended really loving it from her funny stories to her unflinching look at her own mental health so I was excited to pick up more by her. The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. She brought a koala costume all the way to Australia in hopes of wearing it while holding a real koala who may or may not have chlamydia. I already use your blog to help me feel like I had some laughs in my hectic responsibility-laden life.

I pointed out that perhaps he’d been named that because he was the man who’d invented walls, and she sighed impatiently, pointing out that it would be hard to believe that a man had invented walls when most of them couldn’t even be bothered to close the bathroom door while they’re using it. And probably concerned about what exactly my vagina had been doing that constituted a need for its own mug shot. Lawson relishes revealing plenty about her life, except perhaps just how much she may exaggerate about it. I have a broken filter at times or I don’t say anything at all and im happy to find that im not the only one….If I’d had a camera I’d have got someone to take a picture of the moment that I married the Juanita Weasel pose with the Calculon ‘NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOOOOOooooo! As the champ you are, you came through and it was the highlight of my christmas gifts and the delight of my spouse for having outdone me. In Wall, when people refer to gin they’re talking about the Cotton Gin, which is the only real business in the town and is like a factory that turns cotton into…something else. I have no real frame of reference, but when I question strangers I’ve found that their childhood generally had much less blood in it, and also that strangers seem uncomfortable when you question them about their childhood. I would love a copy of your book, but I’m trying to figure out a way to have a bit of fun with my local library.

Like laughing at a funeral, this book is both irreverent and impossible to hold back once you get started. I’ve found, though, that people are more likely to share their personal experiences if you go first, so that’s why I always keep an eleven-point list of what went wrong in my childhood to share with them.

Wearers secure their coat with an adjustable belt that can be tied in a knot, fed through a belt buckle, or used as a makeshift lasso during emergencies. Jenny Lawson: My gut says the Bloggess Army is a bit more intimidating because we don't dress up like kitties, but I'd probably still pick the KISS Army because Gene Simmons scares the shit out of me. He reminds me of a terribly sick joke we played on our child shortly after her beloved hamster, Rosco, passed away. That would make no sense because I feel that blogs are where everyone should really let all the shit-stained laundry out for everyone to see; ya know, the real truth.
