Dear David Sedaris,

I was first introduced to your book Me Talk Pretty One Day in the sixth grade by a favorite teacher, Ms. Padron. She read to us the chapter about your trip to france, and your problems with the language barrier. After school that day I immeadiatly went out and bought the book for myself. When I look back on that memory, I remember laughing so hard at such mediocre, every day things. The way you put these memories of yours on paper made me think about how much more entertaining random, daily experiences can be.

For example, in your chapter about your parents dogs, I felt the happiness and the pride in the animals, the willingness to carry around a shovel. I remembered being sad when Duchess died, but at the same time you presented the situation in a way that saw the comical side of the saddness.

How you relive your experiences with the world around you in your book really inspired meto look at life in a new perspective. I laugh more in my everyday life after reading your book then i ever have done before, and because of this I go through life with a smile. It helps me through the harder times knowing that there is laughter just around the bend. Thank you for allowing me to open my eyes and see how laughter can make the a world brighter place.


Sincerely,
Suzanne Galbraith
