Me Talk Pretty One Day

David Sedaris’ “Me Talk Pretty One Day”, was fantastic. He talks about something very common-- about trying to learn a language and the difficulty in doing so. For example he states "I find it ridiculous to assign a gender to an inanimate object incapable of disrobing and making a fool of itself. Why refer to Lady Crack Pipe or Good Sir Dishrag when these things could never live up to all that their sex implied?". And the characters in Mr. Sedaris’ story are amazingly funny. It’s mostly just about him and his teacher, but he does talk about his fellow students being in the hallway and having a conversation "commonly overheard in refugee camps" (if you want to know what is is you'll have to read the story) The teacher he describes is funny and that’s what makes this story great. David turns something that would usually be boring to something pretty funny. Overall, it was a great read. Mr. Sedaris, thank you.
