Overview

Why don't parents come with an instruction manual?
Enjoy childhood, they say.
I will. I do. Or, at least, I did.
I'm over here living my best life with my best friends and science club. And in three weeks, we're going to GamerCon.
Suddenly, my parents want to talk about my choices. It's so unfair. Why am I grounded for enjoying my childhood? I'm doing exactly what they said to do.
I know I'm not a parent. But I'm pretty sure ‘doing what you say you'll do' is in the top five rules of parenting. It's right up there with ‘feed the kid'. Just my opinion.
Now I've lost everything good because the grown people in my life don't make any sense.
If I can't spend time with my best friends, how do I keep them? And how do I get out of trouble when I'm not sure how I got there in the first place?

Author Bio

When Kelli McKinney and her family aren't exploring national parks, she can be found on the sidelines at her son's tennis tournaments, brewing a cup of cinnamon spice tea, or chucking a toy across the backyard for her English Mastiff to chase. She earned her bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Oklahoma and her graduate degree in radio/tv/film from the University of North Texas. She enjoyed an eclectic-yet-fulfilling fifteen-year career in corporate marketing before wandering off on her own to be a freelance copywriter. Now, she is a part-time copywriter, full-time mom, and a children's author. She lives in Texas but a huge piece of her heart belongs to Oklahoma.
