Trade-In Mother

Max is tired of having his mother say “no” to everything he wants to do. When he threatens to trade her in for a mother who lets him wear dirty shirts, who never forgets to buy Chunky-O’s cereal, and who hates string beans as much as he does, his mother sagely comments that she would never trade him in.

Rating: ***

As a mom it’s hard to read stories where the child hates the mom. It all works out in the end, but it still hurts.
