The Secret Knowledge of Grown-Ups


Do you really believe all the reasons your parents tell you to do things? Do you think you drink milk and eat vegetables because they're good for you? Do you really think you comb your hair to keep it neat? Well, this incredibly wacky book explains the top-secret, classified, security-clearance required real reasons behind all those explanations that your parents have give you over the years. This author, David Wisniewski, is the award winning illustrator of Golem. His wacky insane ideas and wacky illustrations will keep any clever child entertained for hours...reading and rereading to get more secrets. In the words of a 5th grader, "Where does he come up with this?"

Can you make up an incredibly insane explanation for something you've been told to always do?

  1. here is my idea: grown ups tell you to do you homework, reason: to make you smart. the real reason: homework doesn't make you smart, in fact homework makes kids dumb. grown ups try to keep their kids dumb because they are afraid kids will take over the grown up race. Have you noticed that only grown ups can vote and vote for more grown ups. this happens because kids do their homework and don't think about running for president.

  5. Parents say fruits are good for you real reason:
    fruit keeps kids brain washed so parents just tell them what to do and the kids do it but before you know it you forget you even did anything.
