I Talk Slower Than I Think An Antidote to Helicopter Parenting C D Bonner 9780985795009 Books

Some of the reviews of this book emphasize the humor that it contains and there is certainly that in good measure. But I found that many of the stories were evocative and moving as well. The memoirs take us back to a simpler time and place before the intrusion of technology into the lives of children growing up. Those of us who grew up in that era can identify with most of the tales whether they are humorous or poignant. Each story can stand on its own so it is a great book to chip away at for bedtime reading. I congratulate Mr. Bonner on a job well done and would highly recommend this book.

I Talk Slower Than I Think An Antidote to Helicopter Parenting C D Bonner 9780985795009 Books Reviews

When I was a child, grandma's stories about her life and times were always the best entertainment. As I started reading CD Bonner's tales of his life and times, I found the same vivid descriptions of my grandmother's stories. I was eager to continue each short story in this collection, because I knew that I was going to be entertained by someone who was passionate about observing childhood events enough to bring it back to life for a second go around for others to experience as a passionate storyteller! Just like grandma's stories, they were funny, emotional, and at times down right comical.
This is a collection of stories to remind adults of every age of a simpler, more hands-on era.

I Talk Slower than I Think is a nod to the good old days. Filled with southern expressions, each chapter relays an old family story passed down from previous generations. This book will have readers laughing out loud, as well as a few nodding along as they relate to certain events. Although there are some stories that are more emotional than entertaining, overall this is a feel-good book that both Southerners and Northerners can appreciate.

This book is chocked full of adventurous times from the 60’s and 70’s of a southern family. He describes them as poor and by material standards, they probably were. I describe them as rich. They had respect for each other and were able to learn so much that doesn’t have a monetary value. How to prepare Cat Head biscuits, how to collect worms and store them until you go fishing. I’m not sure my Mother would have laughed in that situation, as his Mother did. I had many belly laughs as I read his adventures. Some of which were very dangerous and nearly caused death. I didn’t know you could lose your eyebrows by diving into a quarry from a great height. How to dig a well. My husband related to that story as he helped dig wells by shovel at the age of 13 and 14. I learned not to go fishing beside a creek when the water moccasins were coming out of hibernation and mating. That gave me chills. I’ve heard of many of these adventures of youth from my husband and friends. We were reared in much the same way. We were allowed to explore the country side and suffer the consequences of our actions. I highlighted a passage from his book, “I guess we all lose innocence a bit at a time. It just seems that we had a lot more of it to lose growing up back then.” The generation of today is missing so much but the times prevent them from having the freedom we had. This is a wonderful, nostalgic book to read. I highly recommend it.
Delightful humorous stories. Anyone who has grown up in the South will relate to these stories. I guess it is what we would call the good old days.
Well written stories in the southern tradition of story telling.
Item as described. No complaints. Gave it as a gift, so I don't know about the read
"I Talk Slower than I Think" is a wonderful collection of tiny stories, rather like a photograph album. They're all true, and they reveal charm sometimes and warts-and-all at other times. Each one has genuine characters and makes the reader feel at home the reader is right there in the middle of the action.
