There was recently an online interview with kids on their take on dating. Just didn't convince me they were actually spoken by children.<br /><br />I'll pick this up when I need a few giggles (but who doesn't, eh?).

Just last week I had a girl walk up to me in the middle of the store and ask in all earnestness ..."Excuse me, do you have a book?". *-* Before you ask, yes, she was a fully functioning adult, no, we weren't standing outside the store, and yes, her friend even called her out on it by saying "Did you REALLY just ask that?"...to which she received a blank stare for the span of several seconds. Yep. That's one of many. *shakes head* Thanks for the share!

Hope that you had a good laugh though!<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-22321276299707945482013-05-08T16:51:54.300+01:002013-05-08T16:51:54.300+01:00Point taken Heather, its just that many of the que...Point taken Heather, its just that many of the questions felt contrived, almost as if great thought had been put into making them as silly as possible.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-27410703309563881312013-05-08T16:34:20.806+01:002013-05-08T16:34:20.806+01:00This is a clever idea for a book!
