The Stupids Die

Good Evening, people!

First, before you do anything at all, please read ALL OF THIS:

I just did, so I don't have the time to do a review today but I do want to share an excerpt from the excellent book, "The Stupids Die"

which is from the awesome series about a family called the Stupids. the books are by Harry Allard and James Marshall. Marshall's George and Martha series is one of my all-time favorites, his Miss Nelson books are gold, and even his re-telling of classic fairy tales are cool. you can read a lot of the George and Martha stories on Google books even, right now, if you wanted to, which you should. But The Stupids Die is, as another blog pointed out once, maybe the best title ever.

Yeah

One evening while the Stupids are watching television in their living room, a fuse blows and everything goes dark...

"I can't see a thing," said Mrs. Stupid.

"We must be dead," said Mr. Stupid.

"Oh, wow!" said the two Stupid kids.

Kitty (the wonderful dog) holds a flashlight while Xylophone (the swell cat) changes the fuse. The lights come on again...

The Stupids all looked around.

"This must be heaven," said Mr. Stupid.

"Oh, wow!" said the two Stupid kids.

"It has a nice homey feeling," said Mrs. Stupid.

Grandfather Stupid rides into the living room on his motorcycle...

"Welcome to heaven," said Mr. Stupid.

"This isn't heaven," said Grandfather.
"This is Cleveland."

"This may sound stupid," said Buster.
"But I think this is our living room."

"Oh, heck," said Petunia, "I'm going to bed."
