One idea is to pretend you didn’t flip through it and just heard that “another hip grandma wrote this cute book, maybe you’ll like it”… I dunno.

My MIL is visiting this weekend while I go out of town for a girls weekend and I’ve asked my husband to slip it in her bag when she’s not looking. He’s not usually as sneaky as me, so we’ll have to see how it goes!

You have to give it to her before she’s done anything wrong in order to avoid the insinuation that she’s doing stuff wrong. Genius!

She absolutely ADORES it and has taken the advice to heart, thankfully.
