A collection of hilarious stories that tackle the modern world from multiple yet equally absurd and poignant points of view. The series of stories that gives the book its unusual title are written from the point of view of a 9-year-old boy whose mother brings him to expensive Los Angeles restaurants so that she can bill her ex-husband for the meals. Another series of stories are letters written by a university student to her high school counselor as she grows gradually more unhinged.
