About this ebook
Hilarious photos of mishaps and messes that remind us why boys need adult supervision . . .
Boys will be boys. Unfortunately, they will also be arsonists, wrecking balls, and eight-limbed ninjas of destruction. Their impulse to experiment and explore has given us electricity, space exploration, and the polio vaccine. It has also given us Chernobyl, telemarketing, and countless bathroom floods. With photos pulled from the 1950s on, this book celebrates the wacky, illogical, dangerous, and ridiculous things boys do. Moms and dads everywhere will laugh in recognition at each bit of mischief and misadventure—proof that boys really do need parents.
