Children’s book openings that are sure to sell, 1

“Once upon a time, there was a young lawyer with fabulous locks who could read the minds of unborn children with cerebral palsy…”

    OH! I know this one! The three pigs end up getting fat and filthy rich after suing the straw manufacturer!

    I love that story…

  2. We need a new word for this kind of telepathy.  You see, it’s not enough to be able to read minds.  Our young lawyer with the fabulous locks would have to convert a stream of consciousness somewhat akin to “akldop8isyuc8ajb34bd qrq90w4r ew8wef08 uqewr2uy4 01[df of “ into words not normally assumed to be in the vocabulary of the unborn. Or the born +1 for that matter. And what if the child had been Chinese?  Would it still have “spoke” in English?

  3. This would have been really spooky if I had an unborn, Chinese child with cerebral palsy.  At 2 out of 3, it’s just slightly spooky.  Still, maybe I could rent Edwards just so I know what she’s thinking.  Maybe I should save up for when she’s a teenager.
