Description
If you grew up with British parents, you heard the warnings, the guilt trips, the strange logic and the accidental poetry.
Grounded Forever! gathers 250 ridiculous things parents actually said — from “Because I said so” and “Money doesn’t grow on trees” to the everyday threats, bargains and baffling bits of wisdom that somehow raised a generation.
Each saying comes with a tongue-in-cheek pronunciation and translation of what your parents probably really meant.
Funny, familiar and sharply observed, this is part nostalgia, part translation guide and part tribute to the people who shouted because whispering didn’t work.
GASBAG™ — Great! Another Stoopid Book And Game. — is home to sharp, funny, slightly unhinged books and games that say what other people only mutter.
