Book Launch – Milton Keynes
Here’s what a Mum is saying to her teenager..
There was a time when your actions in public were a potential source of embarrassment for us. Now the tables have turned and every alternate action of Mum or Dad is a cause of embarrassment to you! Let’s list some potentially disastrous situations:
- Parent actually entering a party venue instead of waiting for you in the car
- Parent displaying affection towards you in public
- Parent addressing you by your nickname in public
- Parent calling to ask stupid questions and insisting on answers when you are among friends
- Parent stating the obvious like instructions about your safety
- Parent expressing undue excitement at some minor school achievement of yours
- Un-cool parent not permitting you to go somewhere especially when another parent in the bunch does not seem to have any problem with the expedition
If this sounds familiar, so would the rest of a new book called ‘Crushes, Careers & Cell phones’ to be launched by Mayor Alan Richards at the Milton Keynes Central Library at 3 pm on Saturday November 19. The book has been written by Milton Keynes’ based author Manjiri Gokhale Joshi with contributions from 10 to 25-year-olds across the world. The book has a foreword by former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen and comments by India’s first woman police officer Dr Kiran Bedi.
