My Review After finishing This Little Piggy Went to the Liquor Store I knew I had to read by Turner I listened to the previous one on audio with her as the narrator but this time I just had the ebook I must say a lot of the humor got lost reading the print book I missed her sarcasm It still made me chuckle but there was no laughing so hard I had tears this time It was still funny but felt a little flat to me I guess I know to get her books in audio in the future A. K Turner is clearly the best friend that I haven t met yet She gives a real brutally honest account of parenthood through the eyes of a fully dysfunctional mother just like myself I laughed out loud many times throughout the book If you re a mother with a sense of humor who s likely reading this review with a glass of wine in hand pour yourself another and read this book P. K Turner More like a series of sixteen short stories or essays MOMMY HAD A LITTLE FLASK is a funny eyes wide open look at children and adults written from the perspective of a mother My main complaint is there was way too much emphasis on the flask It wasn t necessary and was distracting Whatever her point was it was overdone and probably turned off a lot of readers who would have otherwise really enjoyed the book Now to the rest of the book I was hooked on page 6 when Amanda a writer and the main character reacts to an adult using baby talk in this case nummers to refer to the taste of something Amanda moves on to the use of wawa for water She notes that children may say that when they are learning to speak But that is no reason for the parent to then begin referring to water wawa It is the parents who is supposed to teach the child how to speak The parent is not supposed to adopt the child s baby talk as the new and improved English Later on she talks of how she gets overwhelmed by crowds of people but I like being in lines They imply the presence of a greater system instead of the anarchy of a free for all she comes home and sees a large number of police vehicles near her house As she tries to figure out what is happening she thinks Maybe they re keeping a sharp eye out in case the culprit returns to the scene of the crimebecause that happens a lot on television and therefore must be true Speaking to her father in law one day about something he said he states You re going to write about this aren t you She replies No I promise And of course she does write about it She writes of how her fear of water has led to her children developing the same reaction When a neighbor asks her if she s going to a pool party she starts to say how much she has to do until she learns the pool is heated And then there is the chapter when her daughter innocently discovers her sexual feelings long before any of them are prepared to deal with the concept She has a delightful way of observing things and describing them e. 5 star rating but didn t want to belittle it with 3 stars so i rounded up I m sure some of these little anecdotes are truthful but with embellishments But for me the result was not particularly humorous or entertaining It was an attempt to make her normality humorous and entertaining I was happy to have it end A. K Turner This is a really terrific and quick read I read this book and the first one after the other and enjoyed the hilarity of both I didn t always agree with some of the author s parenting choices and definitely not with the constant state of inebriation but there were a ton of things that made me laugh loudly because as mom of a six year old I could identify and nod my head in agreement I m looking forward to reading book three A. K Turner Looking forward to read the other offerings of A K Turner now She s delightfully raw honest disarmingly frank and can probably relax the most stressed person on earth I hadn t laughed out this loud since I read Sophie Kinsella s Confessions of a shopaholic Have become a fan now after also reading her Drinking with dead women writers I hope she writes something about her teenage years or spinsterhood Its always refreshing and genuinely heart warming to encounter a witty honest humorous female and A K Turner s surely one of the finer breed A.
