What The Hell Did The Little Bastard Do Now?

The Extremely Funny Robyn says:

I can’t stand those “kids pimp their mom” books. An older teen might have a clue as to what mom needs, but that little brat? Totally thinking, “Yeah! Mom marries a cop and he’ll cover for me! I’ll never be arrested! I’ll be set for life!”

Huh. When I first saw this cover, I thought, “This little bastard is thinking, ‘Great, now that mom has the sucker occupied, I can take his cruiser for a test drive!” I bet this kid fries ants under a magnifying glass and lets out the air in his neighbor’s tires. He certainly looks evil. Or I just plain hate kids and don’t trust the little smirk on his face.

I can just hear the inevitable “I can never replace your father, but I would like to be your friend” speech from the sucker cop when the little bastard decides that having a cop for a step-dad is not cool and starts acting out.

Thanks to the frickin’ awesome Amber for the cover!

    A woman, a cop, and a boy with a plan? Excuse me while I hurl.

    Wait until the cherry bomb he dumped in the neighbor’s plumbing goes off…

    This is definitely a cover that would make me pass on the book.

    Who thinks that kids on a romance novel cover is a good thing?!?!?!? The last thing I want to think about when it’s getting hot and heavy is a 10 year old boy! Yuck!

    That kid says “juvenile deliquent” all over his little hat.

    I thought the kid was creepy. I was like “What the hell, why is there a kid on the cover?”

    Ugh. That kid’s freakin’ ugly too. The only thng worse than a kid on a cover is a kid giving a thumbs up on a cover. It could be worse, it could be a baby giving a thumbs up on a cover.

    I had to look at this cover a couple of times before I figured out what’s really going on. See, those aren’t autumn bushes behind the kid — he’s just set the porch on fire. The cop’s trying to talk to Mom about Junior’s pyromaniac tendencies, and she’s giving a girlish giggle assuring him her little angel would never do such a thing.

    Oh yeah, then why are the steps in flames, huh?
