    About this ebook

    Each title in the Not Your Mother's Book series contains approximately 60 real-life stories dedicated to a unique theme, drawn from the passion and experience of dozens of writers in a whimsical and entertaining mix of irreverence and humor. Founded by former coauthors and editors of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, this similarly styled anthology series foregoes the sad, sappy, preachy, or death-oriented stories that were that series' hallmark, and unlike that series, is never afraid to be a little risqué. These stories are funny, daring, different, and smart.This book’s contributors—mostly Baby Boomers—each write about being a stupid kid and doing outlandish things. These are antics that would probably land some of them in jail today, but they all lived to share their stories in this very funny and entertaining book . . . but don't let your kids read it!
