AIBU Books Game Part 4

[MoominMymbleandMy]

Well, we made it to a fourth thread!

As before, we frame an AIBU from the point of view of a character in a book and everyone tries to guess the book and/or the character.

Everyone welcome to play/time-waste as much or as little as they please.

New thread, new AIBU...

AIBU to refuse to read aloud?

Evening Pogle! I hope RL's behaving itself again. Well done, I do indeed know where my towel is - I'm not a strag, after all!

Your beasties sound as though they ought to be accompanying me too but thanks to a nice Google short cut I finally know who they are! For what age would you recommend them?

And I think you would enjoy my other one, well, the whole series, very much.

Right...AIBU to run away rather than tell my best friend the investment I persuaded him to make has swallowed his entire fortune?

Morning Moomin! Was this fortune based on a certain sparkly gem, perchance?

Why yes it was, Treacle. Diamonds, to be precise.

Aha! And are you now hunting frantically for your friend's 'little missus'?

AIBU to wish my sister would stop being such a PITA?

Oh well done, Treacle! Yes, I was, I sent people to France and Russia and she turned out to be next door to me all along, the scamp.

I think a lot of sisters get described as PITAs so a bit more detail might help us to decide whether you are BU, please.

llandb, not another Aunt-invasion! You're like Bertie Wooster!

AIBU to refuse to take part in the play?

Oh no, I've missed Herb of Grace and HHGTTG!

Lots of sisters are a bit of a pain, I need more information, please.

Moomin, are you by any chance living at Mansfield Park?

AIBU to think my brother gets everything?

What exactly has your brother got that you haven't,Snow? (that could have been better phrased,couldn't it? )

yes,more info about the sister please!

Ooh, that was very fast, Snow. Yes, I am old spoilsport Fanny.

More clues on PITA sister and spoilt brother please?

AIBU to want to feed dog biscuits to the baby?

Hmm,that sounds familiar,Moomin..not enough to identify though..
DS is 9 and he loves Flanimals - depends on your sense of humour though.(his favorite bit:''Remember this little fella? Remember how cute he is? Look at a skinned one''...!)

Eeek, I won't try Flanimals on my DS for a bit then - he isn't two yet!

...The problem is that the baby hasn't any teeth yet. I thought the dog biscuits might encourage them...

OK, he is older than me, but he's horrible, and full of the fact that he is the eldest son.....

Morning all!

Can't narrow your one down yet, Snow. Another clue, please?

...And how can you enter a baby with no teeth in a baby show...

Happy Wednesday everyone

... She's just got a new job and is earning loads, it's making her unbearable!

Moomin, does your mother take in laundry?

More clues please Snow!

Hello!
I was wondering if you lived on One End Street,Moomin - then scrolled down ,and Treacle's beaten me to it!

And probably completely off on this ,but is your brother on the hairy side,Snow?

More clues on the sister,pretty please?

And...AIBU to make her pay for what she did?

Good afternoon all! RL has intervened in the shape of return to work (boo!) and concurrent chldren's tummy bug (again - double boo!).

Anyway, Moomin, scrolling down, you were Franny Halcyon at one point there, yes? I would have got Mansfield Park too, if I'd been here

Don't have any AIBU to include as currently do nto have time for reading fiction. Glad you're all here keeping it going though - ta!

Ooh, what did she do, Pogle?

... she's just getting big-headed. I wouldn't mind so much but she's even being mean to a mutual friend who earns practically nothing...

As is usual, my brother will inherit and I will have to find my own way in life. But why does he have to take or break everything that is mine?

Still not getting anywhere with the sister I'm afraid.

...she destroyed my family,that's what she did...

Not getting anywhere with either sibling here..

Hi Poledra ,if you're still out there! Hope your RL includes time for reading fiction again soon..

Hi Poledra - hope the DCs are better soon.

He's betrothed to the girl I love, and he is my father's heir, why couldn't he have left my horse alone?...

Evening all!

Well done, Treacle and Pogle, it was indeed Master William Ruggles who was almost fed a diet of dog biscuits. No clue on either of yours, I'm afraid. More help please!

Hi Poledra, hope the poor DCs are well soon and you get some time to read again. And yes, you are quite right, the careless grandmother was Franny Halcyon.

Snow, your one is nigglingly familiar but I'm not sure I'm thinking of the right book. Are you heading to South America, perhaps?

AIBU to not want to do this parachute jump?

Insomniac thought, Treacle, the mutual friend wouldn't happen to be called Winifred, would she?

Ye gods, Moomin, if I'd known you were here at 3am, I'dve joined you!

South America? where's that? I am seriously considering a trip to Jerusalem .....

Hmm, well, I was way off beam there. Are you planning to go crusading, Snow?
