Many people have suggested over the past several years I write a book (or at least a short, info-packed report or two) on parenting, but I generally decline. I mean, how much fun is potty training to read about (much less do!) Thankfully, I passed this child-rearing phase quite a few years ago.

Still, there’s more to why I usually refuse (politely) to write about parenting. Writing is something I LOVE to do. Parenting is the thing I do every day, without thinking about it. With six kids, there’s a lot of doing, you know?

But the other night I was lying in bed, thinking about a comment someone had made on a website I read. She said something along the lines of being willing to pay an ungodly amount of money for a guide teaching how to tame her wild/unruly children.

Anyway, thinking about this brought an image of a book cover to mind. Yes, I often think in covers, lol. Seriously though, I saw this cover on a book in the store (in my mind). Sitting there on the shelves with other popular bestsellers, with my name on it as author. (shudder)

Now, I still don’t wanna write about parenting and have no plans to do so any time soon. But I wanted to share the title with you. I figure some other paper credentialed expert might enjoy writing such a guide and I’m happy to share the bestselling title with whoever wants it.

(Giving this away keeps me from holding onto the idea in my head. Sometimes, I decide not to do something, but my thoughts about it keep bugging me even after I’ve given the “no.”)

So anyway, here’s the title:
ALIENS ATE MY KIDS!

And of course, the content reveals no extra-terrestrial being actually consumed youngsters. What happened instead is that formerly untameable children become mild mannered and well-behaved through the parents use of parenting tips in the book.

Shocking concept, huh? Have fun with that.
