So That Just Happened... - Rachel Moore - Bog

This true story follows Rachel and her younger brother Brad as they grow up in the rural Midwest. Because of the private location (lack of neighborhood kids to play with), bossy Rachel and slightly-naive Brad are given the opportunity (forced) to make their own fun. The siblings find themselves in many random situations ("Yes, that giant tortoise DID SO break my arm!") and dealing with ridiculous problems ("I have just spent all afternoon peeling 108 grapes... how can I convince my family to pay me for this?") Their antics usually get them into trouble by their often bemused and always bewildered parents, whose main contribution to the story lies in shaking their heads and saying, "And what you made you think THAT was a good idea?" Written through the comical and idealistic eyes of a child, yet with the added understanding and wit of an adult, this book will keep you laughing as you reminisce about your own childhood... and wondering how you ever survived it.
