Jumping in Mud Puddles: A Memoir of a Picky, Hyper, Big Fat Liar (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Raise your hand if you-1) Have ever been chased by a nun.2) Have been stung by a bee because it was injured and you tried to hug it and then you went into anaphylactic shock because the damn thing stung you on the cheek and you had to be rushed to the hospital (The bee didn't make it).3) Have ever made a tent caterpillar/dandelion meal in your cabin in the woods and have fed it to unsuspecting neighbor children.4) Were slipped a mild tranquilizer and was told it was a car sick pill……for years.5) Have killed the Boogeyman after lying in wait for it/him under your bed.6) Have peed your pants from laughing because a monkey has stepped onto your best friend's head and the best friend doesn't know what is on her head.7) Have puked on the school bus and all the kids had to raise their feet while the bus was going up hills. If you have not been able to raise your hand for any of these normal every day experiences, you are invited to join Vickie as she revisits her childhood during the fifties, sixties, and early seventies. Visit the private Catholic school where she was sent because she flunked an early entrance exam. Sister Potato Head is waiting to stick you into the low reading group, "The Slow Sloths." Follow Vickie as she takes you for a walk around the best neighborhood in Weirton, West Virginia. Don't eat anything she tries to feed you in her cabin in the woods, however, especially if she is giggling as she hands it to you, but yet promises it doesn't contain "real" things. Jumping in Mud Puddles is a witty self-deprecating memoir with stories that will either make you smile because it reminds you of your own childhood or it will make you laugh because you are glad you weren't a picky, hyper, big fat liar like Vickie.
