How Not To Act Old: 185 Ways To Pass For Phat, Sick, Hot, Dope, Awesome, Or At Least Not Totally Lame (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
i learned some good stuff in this book but some of it was not applicable to me. Thongs? Uh-uh, what if I got in an accident and some poor EMT got a look at me in all my thonged glory? I wouldn't do that to a person who is a helpful medical professional. I do use my thumb all the time on my cell phone and I've stopped saying (as I look at one of the zillions of electronic devices in Walmart), "What does that little (electronic) thing DO??!?" so this book did have some helpful hints that I will incorporate in my life. The thong on the cover is a man's banana hammock. Not a ladies undergarment.I'm 28 and it was difficult to tell if she is tongue-in-cheek or not.Perhaps because I am not "old" but neither the age she is looking to emulate.She leaves out that young people do things other than Rock Band, sports, and shop. The young people banded together and voted in Obama, we volunteer, many knit and sew and yes, garden (I have a giant pumpkin plant). We make art, travel internationally, and aren't afraid of the Asian grocery store.The way to be "not totally lame" is to have a life outside of the traditional stay-at-home-mom and job. To do things that are not "totally lame." To be awesome, you must do awesome. Volunteer, create, act, go have fun, and the young people will respect you.
