Are You Shore?

(I am at my grandmother’s, as are a few of my cousins. One is sitting in the living room watching Jersey Shore as I walk in. It’s worth noting that undetectable earthquakes are highly common in my area.)

Me: *looks at the TV* “You know every time you watch that show, a book commits suicide.”

Cousin: *rolls eyes* “Don’t be stupid.”

(Just then, for no apparent reason, a book falls off of my grandmother’s shelf.)

Cousin: *staring at it, flabbergasted*

Me: *without even batting an eye* “You were saying?”
