Download Because I Said So!: The Truth Behind the Myths, Tales, and Warnings Every Generation Passes Down to Its Kids AudioBook Free
Ken Jennings is here now to reveal that mother and father didn't always know best. Yes, all those years you were told not to be seated too near the tv set (you'll go blind!), or swallow down your gum (it continues in your abdomen for seven years!), or split your knuckles (arthritis!) are called into question by our country's leading trivia guru. Jennings separates myth from truth to humorously debunk a multitude of parental edicts: no swimming after meals, be seated up right, don't speak to strangers, you'll receive worms from cookie dough, and so on. Combining the Q&A custom of Why Do Men Have Nipples? and the anti-helicopter parenting beliefs of The Dangerous Publication for Males, Jennings exposes countless types of parental intelligence run amuck, equipped with medical case histories, scientific results, and even the occasional test on himself (or his kids). Whether you're a parent or guardian who wants to really know what you can stop fretting about or a kid (of any years) looking to say, "I told you so", this is the e book you've been waiting for.
