Grandma Accidentally Buys Adult Book For 6-Year-Old, And Parents Get Hilariously Shocked When They Open It
At some point in our lives, all of us were probably taught to not judge a book by its cover. This story is a hilarious example why. Everything started when one grandma was shopping in Barnes & Noble and spotted a book called “If Animals Could Talk.” She immediately thought that the colorful print was something her 6-year-old granddaughter Emmersyn – who was already an “avid reader” – would love.
When Emmersyn got her present, she and her dad tried to read it aloud together. It started pretty vanilla, about gorillas and bananas. But the next page had a baby chick saying “Aight, let’s tear the roof off this mutha fucka!” And it went on. Polar bears with coke problems, horses proud of their junk, and other inappropriate animals were all over the book.
Emmersyn’s mom, Tifanny contacted her grandma. “I was like, ‘Remember that book you got Emmy, If Animals Could Talk?’ And she’s like yeah. I said, ‘Did you actually open it?’ And she said no,” she told BuzzFeed. “I started reading some of the pages to her, and she was mortified.” Tifanny shared the crazy experience on Twitter, and people couldn’t stop laughing. The post was liked by nearly 250K users, and some even said they had to “wipe tears from their eyes” and “catch their breath” from laughing too hard.

One Grandma bought a book for her 6-year-old granddaughter who loves to read without opening it
With all the cute animals on its cover, the book seemed like a perfect read for the little girl
The inside pages, however, weren’t so innocent
Grandma will have to be more careful the next time she decides to buy a fu*king book for her granddaughter!
This hilarious story was a bestseller on the internet, and people were even wiping tears from their eyes after reading it
And it is not spelled "Weiner Dog" but "Wiener Dog" so no editor or anyone who can spell didn't read it either before publishing.
this CANT be another coincidence. Either BuzzFeed is copying from BoredPanda, or BoredPanda from BuzzFeed. This is definitely not the first post that has literally been copied from one of the sites
Of course not, that's how viral websites work - you'll find content here from imgur, buzzfeed, reddit, other humor sites and artist websites and webcomics. Sometimes the BoredPanda community produces content that will be crosslinked on other sites, sometimes the editors and artists/photographers on BoredPanda create a post.

Nothing is funny or clever if you lack a sense of humour
Load More Replies...The most obscene part is that the kid's name is Emmersyn! Who does that to a helpless child? Some drug company is going to trademark that, and the lid will be ruined for life!
Another title to add to the This Picture Book Is Not For Children list, along with "Go the F-- to Sleep."
The dik-dik page with the quote "And you thought kids made of your name" might actually be perfect for a kid called Emmersyn!
* "And you thought kids made fun of your name" that should say. Is there a way to edit comments here (or delete before reposting the corrected version)?

The book isn't even funny, sometimes wonder what planet publishers are on when they commission this sort of drivel.
The idea of a book meant for adults that's designed and meant to be read at a 2nd grade reading level pretty much sums up today's America. We're done for...
Actually this book isn't for adults either. "Adolescents" is the word I think you're looking for.
i've been an adolescent a little whie ago, however, i can't imagine who would spend money on such book (unless they would be veeery high, that might bring different perspective on it......... do they make books specially for people that are high nowdays??)

I do not understand the purpose of this book in the first place!
Omg, the book is hilarious but it's for much older kids, you know! :D
At what point is it funny? If you're wiping tears from your eyes you either have hay fever, are drunk or immature.
What even is the point of this book? It's not entertaining for adults and not suitable for kids - 17yo boys maybe?
I think your opinion is not suitable for an adult. Just based on your own opinion does sure as hell not make it as "adults"
