I Made a Boo Boo

by Shivangi Sharma, Malvika Shivpuri (Reading)

Once upon a time there was a woman who used to sleep eight hours a day and laze around on weekends. Her clothes were mostly free of gross body fluids, and her bag rarely had biscuit crumbs. Then she decided to have a baby.  With books and the Internet for friends - and a husband who answered commonsensically - she thought she had it all sorted. But then her baby arrived and turned everything upside down! The baby made it his mission to present a new surprise every day. Mommy, after fighting hours of helplessness, came to learn that parenting was a lost battle. There was only one way to survive - keep calm, laugh on and write when the baby dozes.  The result : I Made a Booboo , a rollicking account of the trials, tribulations and occasional triumphs of a first-time mom. Everyone did live happily ever after (albeit only when the baby willed so).
