We did a doubletake at one of The Onion's headlines
headline which informed us that "Greg Behrendt Releases New Book For Children: Your Parents Aren't That Into You"
LOS ANGELES—Greg Behrendt, the co-author of the bestsellers
He's Just Not That Into You and It's Called A Breakup Because It's Broken,
has written a book targeted at younger readers, which will be released by
Simon & Schuster next week. In Your Parents Aren't That Into You,
I train my funky wit and refreshing frankness on a very
difficult time of childhood—the moment when kids realize
they're just accessories, tax write-offs, or even mistakes,"
Behrendt said. "After all, the collapse of the child-parent
relationship sets the tone for those to come." Your Parents
Aren't That Into You, which features illustrations by Gary Panter,
will also be available in an abridged stocking-stuffer size in time for
Christmas.
