Book Description:
Celia Rivenbark’s essays about life in today’s South are like caramel popcorn---sweet, salty, and utterly irresistible
Â
Celia Rivenbark is a master at summing up the South in all its glorious excesses and contradictions. In this collection of screamingly funny essays, you’ll discover:
* How to get your kid into a character breakfast at Disneyworld (or run the risk of eating chicken out of a bucket with Sneezy)
* Secrets of Celebrity Moms (don’t hate them because they’re beautiful when there are so many other reasons to hate them)
* EBay addiction and why “It ain’t worth having if it ain’t on eBay” (Whoa! Is that Willie Nelson’s face in your grits?)
* Why today’s children’s clothes make six-year-olds look like Vegas showgirls with an abundance of anger issues
* And so much more!
Rivenbark is an intrepid explorer and acid commentator on the land south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Laugh out loud funny! You don't have to live in the South to enjoy Celia Rivenbark's books. And good if you're the type of person who only gets to read books a little bit at a time. Each chapter is its own little Southern jewel. And no subject is sacred!

This book is absolutely hilarious when read aloud with a southern draw! Try it! My Mom recently had a stroke and one of the things they said to do was read to her.... She was laughing so hard! Delightful!

Very funny and so true! I didn't like it as much as the other two but it is still an enjoyable read and made me laugh.

Jill D. (This book started out decent had me laughing, then it just fizzled.
Very humorous. This is my first time reading anything written by Rivenbark and I'm not adding her others to my to-read list. I enjoyed it very much.
