He Has a Point

Little Brother is supposed to write a book report, the fancy kind where you turn the book you read into a movie.

Little Brother, our mother, and I were in the family room while I raided the bookshelves, looking for good books that were suitable for book reports.

AWKWARD MORMON GIRL: Okay. Here are three books that you would probably like. You should read Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites; it's funny. Wringer and The Key Is Lost are both depressing.

MOM: Funny would be funny, for a movie. (Translation from Momish: Funny movies are more delightful.)

LITTLE BROTHER: But depressing wins more Oscars.
