Huh.*

This makes the Beautiful Mommy book look like a fanTIZtastic idea!

To know me in real life is to know Im quite open minded.  I simply return to my fear (wonderment?  fear sounds so dramatic) that this would end up shoved in a bookshelf and read by a child sans parent/adult.

Again, I need to see it in person.

It has its place but Im not certain it will end up there.

Disagree? Id love to hear it.

  2. Jeez, there’s a book for just about EVERYTHING, isn’t there?!

    I’m just not sure if a book about weed is really all that necessary…

  3. AHAHA i love the picture of little suzie walking in on her parents sitting in bed blazed out of their minds.

    Im in no way against weed or anything, but isnt this under the same vein of desensitizing children to violence? it leads to more violence right? So desensitizing them to drugs will do the same thing, no?

    The parents that would buy a book like this (Im picturing my best friends parents…) surely are pretty open to discussing the drug with their children in the first place. Is a book really neccessary?

  5. My mom was/is a pothead. I hated it. If she got me a cheesy book like that, I would probably hate it even more. ha ha. Sweet Baby Jesus.

  6. First, thanks for the comment on my blog! I, like everyone, WOULD like to find my niche in the blog-world, so maybe those cards would help me get motivated and find some readers!

    Second, like you, I would think this would have its place…but I don’t know if that place would be MY place. I have no problems with smoking marijuana, in fact I think it’s way better than alcohol in terms of health and the problems it causes in our country, but I don’t imagine I would feel the need to purchase a book to explain the whole situation to my son. I guess it’s good it is there, though? I’m sure SOMEONE will find it useful.

  7. Thanks for the GREAT comment on my post today. You were SO right when you said that there was no angst in my last line but more like a feeling of empowerment. WOW does that sound cheesy over simply saying no to take out! But seriously, I felt empowered that I am indeed strong enough to say no and stick to my guns!

    Keep checking in on me and kick my butt into shape if you see me going back to the dark side!

  9. I’m amused by this book because it looks so much like the books on divorce, death, and sexual abuse that my church had in its children’s library. I would have to read it to really form an opinion on it, but I’m definitely open to it. (medically speaking, marijuana isn’t as dangerous as alcohol so the reasons that went into the decision to make not only illegal, but criminal, are highly suspect…)

  10. Ha! The first thing I did when I saw that site was laugh out loud! You’ve got to be kidding! What will “they” think of next?!

    Well, now I know what to get my little niece for her next birthday. 😉

  11. Huh. Not what I was expecting! Not sure what to think.

    Although, I snark with other commenters that would make FAB present for uptight relatives’ children!

  12. again, where DO you find this stuff? There really is a book for everything and apparently I am missing the gravy train here.

    I think this book is just crazy. If a kid has blazed out parents, they don’t need a book to explain it to them. Besides, they might get cheeto dust on the pages. 🙂

  13. On the “Beautiful Mommy” book. I feel just a book talking about a parent going to the hospital would be OK. I don’t like the Mommy Book. Also, it seems to me that sometimes we think children need a lot more information than they are really asking for.

  14. “a 4:20 nap”!!! Leslie and the Miz – you guys just made my day:) Anyone else look at these things and think “I could TOTALLY write a children’s book”? I’m going to write one for “My Mommy the Call Girl” – anyone fill that niche yet?

  15. I’m surprised they didn’t add, “…for medicinal purposes.” Which would make it okay then. You could even add “organic” which would raise the price 50%….Geez! When is the book explaining divorced mommy’s multiple boyfriends coming out? {asking sarcastically}

  16. OMG!!

    I have literally fallen out of my chair laughing 5 times in the past 10 minutes while looking through the pages of that book on the website. The bicycling Samurai Warrior and Sgt. Pepper outfits made me bruise my knee on the floor.

    Good God, woman! Where do you FIND these things??
