My boy picked this out for his read aloud book tonight. I had read it to the oldest a few years ago but had forgotten how very funny it is. We were both laughing so hard that I could barely read. We could barely breath... the first part of this precious book is much funnier than the end. I guess all the hype of election year and the "change we can believe in" bologna also put a different spin on it for me, but this discourse had me rolling:
" I would vote for (Amelia)" said a reporter. "we need some change."
"Here's 43 cents," said Amelia Bedelia. "That's all the change I've got."
"Wait a minute," said the mayor. "I want to put in my two cents."
"How nice,"said Amelia Bedelia. "That makes 45 cents"
What a hoot, it goes on to talk about the mayor not having ANY cents/sense... ah.. too cute!
Maybe Amelia Bedelia could "throw her hat in the rink" for the presidential election. At least she's got some change that we can all relate to. Of course it could only buy her a tablespoon of gas! OR could it?
