Raised By Wolves

What a riot this book was.

Written by Christie Mellor, author of The Three Martini Playdate, the subtitle of this book gives a more clear meaning to it's purpose.  Clues to the Mysteries of Modern Living. 

Yes, indeedy, this is a good book. 

I loved this book, and won't be giving away my copy, as per my usual MO on this site.  Instead, I plan to keep it and force all of my children to read it before they move out.  I may even test them on the contents. 

With information on varied topics ranging from how to make hospital corners to the many uses of baking soda, dealing with office politics, being humble and proud, how to use mayonnaise to remove water marks, directions on how to wash dishes and manage a buffet line gracefully - this book is an exhaustive how to for the modern young adult. Many of these topics are things I struggled with and only recently mastered - and some not at all. 

Most interesting would be the section on topics for conversation, the explanation of the Bill of Rights, and things I wish I'd known.  I really agreed with a lot of them, at the ripe old age of 38. 

I'd recommend that each and every person reading this buy a copy of this book for anyone in your life in the age range of 12-25.  Seriously - it could be the best thing you've ever bought them.

Many, may thanks to the lovely ladies over at The Parent Bloggers for hooking me up with this book.
