I really enjoyed this piece. I have read and listened to a few of David Sedaris' pieces before and I absolutely love him. He describes situations in fresh and interesting new ways, but I always feel that I can relate to his portrayals. I'm never thinking, "that's not what it's like at all." I like that he doesn't just make me laugh but he gives a look into what life is like for him. I can walk away with more than just a chuckle.
I think my favorite part of this piece is when Sedaris starts using Elizabethan English. I'm assuming he was in high school, since Lois was sleeping with the cast members, and I can just see this teenage boy acting so ridiculous. I especially liked his insults to his mother, they were hilarious. I think I enjoyed it the most because it reminded me of my mother. The two of us quote Jane Austen to each other in regular conversation. Anyone would think we were crazy if they didn't know what we were talking about, but it always makes sense. Sedaris always made sense even though his family didn't understand him.
