It sounded interesting

I was at my grandparent's house today for some Easter celebration thing (or something) and when the conversation got boring my cousin, sister and I wandered off and started reading some old Sweet Valley High books. If you don't know what those are, let me explain:

Sweet Valley is a series of over 150 books that are the very definition of corny, about twins called Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield who predictably have very different personalities: Jessica is a "social butterfly" (but we all know what that really means) and many times has idiotic ideas, the consequences of which are usually dealt with by Elizabeth, who is nerdy and stuff. They're both blonde and popular and pretty and so on.

Anyway, we were reading SVH, and my mom popped in and told us about a blog where people criticize the Sweet Valley Series to their heart's content, feeding on the inconsistencies that the very book seem to be based on.

"It's called The Dairi Burger [the Dairi Burger is a fast food restaurant from the books where the twins often stuff their faces, but it's okay because they never gain weight or get zits]. They just love ripping Elizabeth to bits. She's supposed to be the sensible one and so on, but just think: how many times has she cheated on Todd? And she's such a know-it-all; can nobody solve their problems without her?"

After a good 5 minutes of speech my mom left. My sister, Isabel, lifted her head from the bed she was lying on and said to me, over her book,

"What did mom say? It sounded interesting."

That made me laugh so hard I fell of my couch. Then my mom came back and asked what was making me laugh so hard, except I didn't have the heart to tell her.

Plus I couldn't speak.

And I'm still laughing about it now. By myself, at night, all alone in the corridor.
