The series of books I simply call- “Dog Man” should not be for children. Children have no filter. The subject matter leads to unacceptable behavior. Children make the language used in the books their very own.
I am dealing with the worse kind of disappointment right now. Anyone in the age category of 30 and up- gets it. Thirty somethings can look back at that time when Mom or Dad had been disappointed. Usually it is a reminder of a poor choice, not a life decision. It could be the first time you were late getting home. It could be a lie you told because you panicked. It could be you let a friend drive your car and the next thing you know Dad had to help get your car out of a ditch before your Mom found out!
What about now? You’re older and you have a family of your own and you still manage to disappoint your family. A mother’s disappointment is different when it involves her grandchildren. Don’t go there!
First, the wrath of a woman who has had time with her grandchildren taken away can only be dealt out to the other Grandparents. You know the ones. The local Grandparents are always the lucky ones. They retire first. They have 52 weeks of the year to see the Grandchildren and they rule over their son, the Prince. Don’t get me started on their daughter, the Princess!
Eventually the out of town Grandparents are no longer considered for any reason. The out of town Grandmother wants to blame the in town Grandparents but simply confides to a close friend about the disappointment she feels regarding her daughter.
There you have it, folks, a Granny scorned and a Dog Man book which should never be read—quite a combination.
