Description
Ann Hodgman is a funny lady. In this book, she explains how she got that way. But the book only goes up through sixth grade. After that, her life became so embarrassing that writing it down would have caused the pages to burst into flames.
The young Ann Hodgman spent her formative years wearing bloomers, obsessing over the Sears catalog, writing pretentious poems, taping her hair to her neck to try to make it straight, being the only guest at slumber parties who insisted on sleeping, and making up cute fake nicknames for herself. All of this and more is revealed here, complete with photos and other embarrassing artifacts! Ann tells the real truth about being a grown-up too, busting myths about eating sugar, wearing clean underwear, handing your work in late, and the dangers of toilet seats.
