In a style that's reminiscent of Erma Bombeck, this book takes a funny look at the aging trials and tribulations of Baby Boomers. This description may be from another edition of this product.
It will take some time for Baby Boomers to move beyond our denial about aging. The Yikes! authors name the fears and expose some of the creative ways Baby Boomers are avoiding "old age". This book tells it like it is -- it challenges the reader to lighten up and laugh. It helps ease the trip over the proverbial hill. Kudos to Pippin and Mulhearn!
Delightfully humorous reading

A delightfully humorous book, YIKES!! MY BUTT'S FALLING, by Robyn Mulhearn and Aleta Pippin, creates a setting familiar to many of us! It includes "interviews" with old friends, college classmates and others, with the interviewer sharing with them that she's writing a book on baby boomers and how they feel about getting older. With a tad of philosophy tossed in, the responses are so close to reality that we, the readers, can laugh at ourselves! Most of us, of course, do not care to admit that we are getting "older," but as shown by those being interviewed, it is obvious! Diet practices, cosmetic surgery, exercise techniques - they are all there. Be ready for some good wholesome laughter with this book!
