#17: Alice Franklin, Life Hacks for a Little Alien
The other day my mother was telling me a story about one of her older cousins, who recently moved into assisted living. This cousin managed to knock over a lamp in her room, tried and failed to call the staff for help, and eventually ended up calling 911. To help her with a lamp.
And my mom is laughing hysterically, and eventually realizes that I'm not laughing, because all I can do is just say "oh no" over and over.
Reading this book is kind of like that. Some people may find it hilarious. All I could do was cringe.
