{"product_id":"when-parents-text","title":"When Parents Text","description":"\u003cp\u003eA collection of insanely funny texts between parents and kids, When Parents Text is a surprisingly affecting window into the complicated time when parents aren’t ready to let go, and kids aren’t ready to be let go. The parents are well-meaning but hopeless, silly and a little corny, and befuddled by the technology. The kids are bewildered yet patient: the perfect straight man. And the authors, two recent college graduates, Lauren Kaelin and Sophia Fraioli, have an unerring editorial instinct to select the funniest, sweetest, quirkiest, most-telling exchanges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s the revelatory: Mom: My fingers are saying words. This is amazing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe virtual scolding: Dad: I will deal with your sassy behavior when I get home. Meanwhile have some fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe autofill-challenged: Mom: dig up some tadpoles on ur way homo. Me: ummm, what? Mom: It autocorrected me. I mean to say dig up some tadpoles on ur way homo. (4 minutes later) Mom: PICK UP SOME TAMPONS ON YOUR WAY HOME.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manically inappropriate: Mom: Woo Hoo—Ruth died, you know Uncle Lyman’s wife, BUT I have your Braves tickets and check on the table!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the downright inexplicable: Dad: You could poop your pants in the yankee candle store and no one would know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLaunched as a website just last year, www.whenparentstext.com is a phenomenon. It receives 300,000 to 500,000 page views a day, with features in The Huffington Post, Entertainment Weekly, College Humor, and more. When Parents Text includes the best of texts from the website, plus more than 50 percent all-new material never before published.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes an emoticon glossary and 16-page color insert of MMS texts— multimedia messaging service, aka, bizarre photos from mom and dad. It’s the perfect gift for every text-savvy kid to give to his or her parents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780761166047\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lauren Kaelin, Sophia Fraioli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thomas Allen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:none\"\u003e047 6047 66047 166047\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Batner Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43934114087000,"sku":"9780761166047S","price":7.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/7564\/3992\/files\/9780761166047.jpg?v=1775050350","url":"https:\/\/batnerbookstore.com\/products\/when-parents-text","provider":"Batner Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
