I remembered this being funny when I read it in high school for English (minus Buttercup's baby, my teacher left that part out,) but I bought it as an adult to do with my kids for school oh my goodness. We had the hardest time getting through it because we were all laughing entirely too hard! I continued reading it on my own and read "Buttercups Baby," which is why I rated 4 stars on what is otherwise a perfect book by my personal standards. The ending had me in tears.
