Jimmy and the Tasty Buns (JIMMY DIARIES SERIES, #6)

Boys will be boys. They will go out of their way to take advantage of one and all. They tell simple lies and get away with it. Sometimes they tell big lies that cause disasters. But they will never learn. They will never realize that the adult and parent world they deal with is a lot wiser than them; after all, it comes with experience. It is not always, however, that a boy will be mischievous out of malice. Sometimes they may be moved to action by circumstances beyond their control - and at other times emotions may be too much. This novella explores this side of children - why they tell little lies and take advantage of their parents and other adults around them.
