Humble, yet confident, his parents both work at blue collar jobs, neither holds a college degree, and so it occurred to me- Where's their book? Why aren't they on Oprah?
A few weeks back Brittany Spears mother was on the Today show schilling her book on raising children- REALLY?
Isn't Brittany the one who was recently taken out of her house on a stretcher after she locked herself in a bathroom with one of her toddlers and refused to come out- WITH A TODDLER-the toddler's whose father is a an unemployed "rapper", who has several children with another woman, in fact wasn't he the same guy who left that woman while she was pregnant with his child to be with Brittany. I'm not sure what is worse, this scenario, or the fact I know so many details.
Although she seems to be doing better, it appears as though her hair has grown back since the ugly shaving incident, there is still the issue with her younger sister and her teenage pregnancy, I'm not sure what Brittany's mother has to say that I can possible utilize in rearing children....but there she was on the Today show - WITH A BOOK.
I have a piece of advise for her- DON'T NAME YOUR KID BRITTANY IF YOU DON'T WANT HER TO BE A WHORE.
I know, anyone can write a book, (except me) jurors from the (first) OJ trial wrote books..and we know the collective intellect of those people could not exceed room temperature... but still to have children who are examples of complete and utter dysfunction and are arguably the personification of everything that is wrong with this country (living a life of excess based on the over valuation and subsequent over compensation of marginal talent and/or abilities) is a bold move.
There she was...with Matt Lauer-- and somewhere in the world there is a person who is going to spend time to actually read her thoughts...I suppose I could read it and then do the opposite.
Although Brittany has economic success, she is an absolute wing nut who has dragged innocent children into her crazy circus existence. Perhaps I will buy this book and while I'm at it pick up a copy of W's book on How to Find Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Kanye West's mother also wrote a book - before she died as a result of complications of elective plastic surgery-perhaps she would have been better served to have just listened to the 27 plastic surgeons who advised her she was a poor candidate for (ELECTIVE) surgery prior to finding the one who would do the 8 hour surgery on her- again, not sure what kind of advise she has to provide ( admittedly I'm not impressed with "rappers"- which appears to me to be someone who can talk fast to the music someone else has written) yet I remain relatively certain whatever she has to say isn't anything I 'm really interested. I do have some post mortem advise for her though- WRITE LESS LISTEN MORE-
Give me a book about how to raise a kid who goes to Harvard on a full scholarship - and I'll buy it AND the CD in which you read it to me. The world is full of bad advise (after the plane hit the first tower, those in the second tower were advised to stay put...keep your money in the market...) A suggestion, don't buy a book for a erroneous directives- just ask your own family.
