Ron Carlson's "Bigfoot Stole My Wife" and "I am Bigfoot"

The first story was really cute and funny. He really believed that Bigfoot stole his wife. He felt like he had to believe it. He made me believe it. The details he used like referring to the stinch of bigfoot made me feel like I could have been in the house prior to the kidnapping. I thought it was funny that he added in that Bigfoot would have to struggle to get into his wife's car, but that it was possible. I especially liked "I am Bigfoot." I enjoyed his detailed confession to being Bigfoot. He added in everything that is shown in popular culture that is said of Bigfoot. His confession is almost sarcastic, but it works. When you tie the two stories in together you get a better understanding of each. I like this about these two stories, I enjoyed the fact that they followed one another in the book.
