  1. Great find, Kaye. A long time ago I was president of our PTA - there were a few people I wanted to murder, LOL.

  2. That does sound like a fun read! When our son was in elementary school, there was a huge controversy in the PTA, so I can see this would be a great set-up.

  6. My PTA meetings were deadly dull and boring. I wouldnt have minded murdering one or two of the parents who sat for hours with the teacher and chatted as if they had the whole day and teacher for themselves.

  8. The book isn't even out yet, and I've already stored up oodles of stories from people about their PTA experiences. Like the time...no, I can't share that one. It's going into Book #2 :)

    I hope everyone who reads the book has a good time!
