We rolled on, down the road. Brush rose on both sides of what once was a curvy subdivision street. The woods looked surprisingly picturesque. Huge trees touched with green moss vied for space. Small clumps of flowers bloomed in bright patches here and there: yellow dandelions, purple henbits, tiny white blossoms in a nest of green – looked like hairy bittercress, but I wasn’t sure. A wide island of forsythia bushes flowered on the left in a froth of vivid yellow, as if dipped into whipped sunshine. On the right, a nameless vine dripped from the branches, threatening to spill delicate lavender flowers. You half expected Pooh Bear to waddle out from between the brush. Of course, knowing Sibley, Pooh would open a mouth full of deep-water teeth and try to take a chunk out of our hides.
Directions said two rights, one left, then straight. The first two turns were easy enough, the left was a tight squeeze between two pines. Beyond the turn bamboo hugged the road, forming a dense green tunnel. I steered the Jeep through it.
“Are you sure you know where you’re going?” Andrea frowned.
“Would you like me to pull over and ask that bamboo for directions?”
“I don’t know, do you think it will answer?”
We peered at bamboo.
“I think it looks suspicious,” Andrea said.
“Maybe there is a heffalump hiding in it.”
Andrea stared at me.
“You know, heffalump? From Pooh Bear?”
“Where do you even get this shit?”
*holding stomach trying to stop laughing*
I will seriously try to avoid bamboo trees from now on…. thanks so much for this one….
I was just thinking about the fact that Kate and Andrea are in a Jeep. You know who has a Jeep…Curran. I am starting to speculate to much!
Let it be said, “I cant wait for May!”
Perhaps they stole said jeep…
Andrea has a work jeep “Magic Mourns”, has 2 motors works when the magic is up
Ha! Love it!
I just love this snippet. This kind of humor is exactly why this is my favorite series of books right now!
I actually cried with laughter after reading that! I can just imagine my favorite disney character with razor sharp teeth….
Love it
that was too funny is there a mystical that guides your fingers across the keyboard to make filarious(a combination of funny and hilarious) shit
I LOVE the humor you guys work into your stories!! I now have to be careful where I read your books because I get a silly, happy little smile on my face while i’m reading your books and often I laugh out loud. My family are constantly poking fun at me about it when I read, so now when I read around them I have to hold the book up in front of my face to hide my many smiles.
<3
or maybe a woozle.
I love Andrea and I want to read more of her story after Magic Slays. When is the next book coming? Please.
