Big Boy (from Me Talk Pretty One Day)
by David Sedaris (humorist)
Story Review

Summary: At a party, Sedaris finds himself trying to get rid of a huge turd that was left as a present by the previous visitor to the bathroom.

The collection, Me Talk Pretty One Day, are personal reflections from his life experiences. I am going to review the stories one by one as I read them. I put this book on my Kindle and am reading them one at a time.

I am finding that these stories resonate and this story because of its clarity of the moment and absolute humor, was just amazing. I was laughing out loud. It really was about the potty and it really was so very funny. The author was caught in this horrible situation that anyone of us could have been caught in and it was truly, wickedly funny. This tremendous turd. Yes, the story was about a turd. Nothing is off limits for Sedaris. That is why these stories work so well - nothing off limits.

I was laughing and saying "oh no!" as I read this. No kidding.
