Nonfiction. Humor (Nonfiction.) HTML:

A collection of insanely funny texts between parents and kids, When Parents Text is a surprisingly affecting window into the complicated time when parents aren't ready to let go, and kids aren't ready to be let go. The parents are well-meaning but hopeless, silly and a little corny, and befuddled by the technology. The kids are bewildered yet patient: the perfect straight man. And the authors, two recent college graduates, Lauren Kaelin and Sophia Fraioli, have an unerring editorial instinct to select the funniest, sweetest, quirkiest, most-telling exchanges.

There's the revelatory: Mom: My fingers are saying words. This is amazing.

The virtual scolding: Dad: I will deal with your sassy behavior when I get home. Meanwhile have some fiber.

The autofill-challenged: Mom: dig up some tadpoles on ur way homo. Me: ummm, what? Mom: It autocorrected me. I mean to say dig up some tadpoles on ur way homo. (4 minutes later) Mom: PICK UP SOME TAMPONS ON YOUR WAY HOME.

The manically inappropriate: Mom: Woo Hooâ??Ruth died, you know Uncle Lyman's wife, BUT I have your Braves tickets and check on the table!!

And the downright inexplicable: Dad: You could poop your pants in the yankee candle store and no one would know.

Launched as a website just last year, whenparentstext.com is a phenomenon. It receives 300,000 to 500,000 page views a day, with features in The Huffington Post, Entertainment Weekly, College Humor, and more. When Parents Text includes the best of texts from the website, plus more than 50 percent all-new material never before published.

Includes an emoticon glossary and 16-page color insert of MMS textsâ?? multimedia messaging service, aka, bizarre photos from mom and dad. It's the perfect gift for every text-savvy kid to give to his or her parents… (mehr)

Cute book based on the website where people can submit favorite text exchanges with their parents. They're not all making fun (as in "aw, they're so cute with their naïveté about technology"). There are some sweet ones too.
It's a nice easy read to make you smile. ( )

Not bad although not what I was expecting either. Although I won't consider this a funny book, it has its moments that makes you smile. ( )

The book is kind of stupid in the sense that there is basically little useful information imparted. The humor seen by the two authors is limited. It is a quick read and I learned a little about some cryptic texting methods. Some of it is humorous, but I do not recommend the book. ( )

My Opinion: I received a copy of this book free of charge from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

My honest opinion is that I thought this book was very fun and very funny. There's not much I can say to describe the book since the description above and the title alone pretty much let you know what it is about, but I can tell you that I had some real LOL moments while reading it! I especially loved when fathers text or when grandparents are just learning how to text. I can happily say that my own mother still doesn't own a cell phone so I haven't had the pleasure of getting any publish worthy texts from her, but I do intend to use some of the ones from the book to totally embarrass my own kids, since, as I tell them, that is my life's goal!

I highly recommend this book if you need a little chuckle or if you are exasperated with your own parents' attempts to text you - you will definitely not feel alone after reading this book! In fact, I'm going to make stopping over at the website whenparentstext.com (which is still going strong) a must with my morning coffee to start my day off right :D

I'm giving this book a very happy 5 stars :D ( )

Cute book. It starts out laugh-out-loud funny as it pokes fun at parents who are relatively new to texting. They make hilarious errors. After reading this book for a while, the humor level subsides a bit, but overall, this is nice, light entertainment. ( )
