Inhaltsangabe

“This book is for rebellious adults only. . . . Inspires instant recognition of childhoods past. . . . A joy.”—People

Universal and timeless, Delia Ephron's How to Eat Like a Child is a delightful revisiting of the joys—and tricky ploys—of childhood. Made into a children's television special and a musical theater revue performed across the country each year, How to Eat Like a Child offers advice beyond the artful etiquette of food consumption. Ephron also teaches us "How to Laugh Hysterically," "How to Have a Birthday Party," "How to Torture Your Sister," and much, much more. As the Washington Post Book World noted, `After the giggles of recognition have subsided, one thing will be very clear: all adults are kids in grown-ups' clothing."


Rediscover the lost arts of being a kid in this hilarious collection of observational comedy:


  • Childhood Memories: A pitch-perfect guide to everything from the proper way to eat an Oreo to the undeniable truth that mashed potatoes are a canvas for gravy rivers.
  • Family Humor: Featuring timeless, deadpan instructions on essential skills like "How to Torture Your Sister" and how to act after being sent to your room.
  • Rebellious Childhood: Learn the secret logic behind playing sick, talking on the telephone for hours, and convincing your mom to let you watch more television.
  • Nostalgic Humor: A perfect funny gift for adults who remember a time of secret clubs, scraped knees, and the universal truth that all grown-ups are just kids in bigger clothing.
