"Will you please just shut the hell up, Dierdre?" my father said, weary and drunk.My mother smiled down at him, blowing smoke through her nostrils. "I will please shut the hell up the day you please drop the hell dead."
This is from Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs.

Great pick!!
I really enjoyed this book even though the thought of living like that was a little disturbing!!
I stole your signature idea!! Love it!
LOL! That's kind of rough!
l Teaser
I feel the love in this family. Good teaser.
That is hilarious! I will have to remember that next time I am pissed at someone and need a witty comment even if I don't say it out loud. I will have to check the book out to see if it is as funny as this teaser is.
Thanks for Sharing!
Geez. I hope it's ok that I laughed!!
All I can say is WOW - those parents sound interesting.
Here's my Teaser! ~ Wendi
LOL, probably not a laughing matter but your teaser cracked me up and Im off to find out a bit more about Running with Scissors
:-)
Haha, amazing teaser! :) I've only seen the movie, love the soundtrack, but have to spare some time for the book!
Now that is an AWESOME line! :):):):):):):):):):)
I read this book and I loved it! His follow-up books are just as funny. "Dry" is about his rehab for alcholism. "Magical Thinking" and "Possible Side Effects" are collections of funny essays. He kind of reminds me of David Sedaris. If you like this, check out his others! ; )
