An OA Fairy Tale

I lied. No fairies in this one. That grandma looks a bit like Baba Yaga though.

Does anyone want to guess where I acquired this book at?

Well, everyone loves multiple choice tests, so let's go that route.

A) Barnes and Noble
B) Borders
C) Pageturners Used Books
D) A crack dealer...also known as a bakery.
E) A member of OA with 22 years of abstinence from what? Sugar.

*insert Jeopardy music here*

dum dum dum dum dum dum dum......

It's E. Yes, it's E. A dear friend of mine gave me this book. :o)

Here's a passage from the book:

I know an old lady...
...who swallowed a pie,
a Thanksgiving pie,
which was really too dry.

Then in smaller letters under that.

"Perhaps she'll die."

This old lady goes on a Thanksgiving rampage, progressively eating more and more food, culminating with an entire turkey. And after each thing she swallows whole, what do you suppose the refrain is?

"Perhaps she'll die."

I'm in the middle of reading this book and Niece goes, "This book isn't very good."

"Alright honey, time for bed. Try not to have any frequent-mention-of-death nightmares. Kiss kiss hug hug."

Check out some more pages from the book.


Someone looks excited about their birthday cake.

Oh shit, it's Granny!

Girl, any compulsive overeater coulda told you that you shoulda dove right into that shit before anyone else got a piece. You snooze, you lose.

This book is a classic.
