My friend helpfully subtitled it, “Why is Mommy wrapped like a mummy?”
As the site explains, “Undergoing plastic surgery procedure can be an exciting and stressful time for you and your family. This book will make your plastic surgery experience more understandable to your little ones.”
Exciting yes: “Mommy’s gonna have crazy-large juggos!” Stressful of course: “Will mom’s new nose still be able to sniff out the skid mark I left in the sink?”
But let’s not kid ourselves, people: $19.95?!
(I joke, of course. Kind of. I mean, that’s a lot of dough these days. Dough that could be spent more wisely on a certain little happy stick.)
But really, what ever happened to child-appropriate fare like “Where the Wild Things Are” and “Stewart Little” and “Heather Has Two Mommies”? What have we become when toddlers chat on the playground about how mommy had her nose broken and whittled away so she could appear more pretty for daddy?
We scare me.
