Summer Reading

So this is the book that big kid has chosen for his summer reading. When I saw it I naturally snorted in good humor. Really?!? Upon further perusal of my $15 investment (I know, RIGHT?!? The zombies' accountant must be thrilled.) I discover it has real chapters, diagrams, appendixes, references, quotes, etc. I mean people are taking this !@#$ seriously. And big kid is no exception. I watched him at the book store for 20 minutes sitting in his armchair, drinking a tall blended coffee, reading with absolute intensity...and he never even snorted once. For two days now he has been ignoring the TV and video games in order to read this book and then later surfacing to give us important updates such as you will need a machete and sub machine gun when the zombies attack (items for the Christmas wish list); motorcycles are better getaway vehicles than trucks, etc. And he assures me that we will have to move upstairs, fill the bathtub with drinking water, destroy the steps, and hole up for three weeks to wait it out before we can run for safety. On the bright side that means I won't be able to do any laundry when the zombies land since downstairs is off limits, and I can force lil brother to muck out his bedroom with no means of escape which will give us all a reason to work for escape. I think I'm starting to get behind this whole zombie apocalypse now that I think about it. So I say, BRING IT!!! ...Big kid's got this covered.

FYI-I gave several copies of this book for graduation gifts. No harm in being prepared...
