It’s often said that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and a recent incident involving a grandmother proves this point hilariously. Grandmas always seem to have a knack for creating laugh-out-loud moments, often completely by accident. Just think about the countless funny family stories that start with “Grandma did this…”
In a recent Twitter post, a woman named Sarah shared a comical mishap involving her mother. Sarah’s mom decided to buy a book for her granddaughter, who is just six years old. However, instead of picking up a typical children’s book, Grandma unwittingly chose a title that’s definitely intended for adults — similar to the infamous Go The F*ck To Sleep but even less suitable for kids.
The book, titled If Animals Could Talk by Carla Butwin, is a humorous picture book filled with jokes and clever quips that would go right over a young child’s head. Even Amazon warns readers that it’s “definitely not for all ages.” But the cover featured cute animals, which caught Grandma’s eye, leading her to assume it was appropriate for her granddaughter. Sarah pointed out that the book was displayed in the children’s section at their local Barnes & Noble, so it’s no wonder Grandma was confused!
With the book in hand, Sarah’s husband jokingly asked if Grandma had purchased it as a prank. Nope! This was a genuine mix-up, and everyone is finding it absolutely hilarious on Twitter. The book has become an unexpected hit, bringing joy and laughter to many.
People are now flocking to Amazon to check out this book, which has inadvertently become a bestseller thanks to this delightful blunder. It’s a classic family story to share at future gatherings, and maybe a lesson learned about not judging books by their covers — something the staff at Barnes & Noble might need to remember too.
