I need Bossypants. I need it five minutes ago. I think I might need it injected directly into my brain.

As a child was sometimes called Nosy Parker because of all the questions I asked. And this came from the nuns.
But I wouldn't mind Bossypants. Need to get that book as well as Other People We Married.
