Because I Said So! by Ken Jennings
A lively, myth-busting tour of the household warnings and old wives’ tales parents hand down to kids, this book investigates the science, history, and folklore behind familiar admonitions and urban legends. With a blend of humor, anecdote and careful research, it separates fact from fiction, traces surprising origins for common sayings, and explains why some rules persist while others deserve to be retired. The result is an entertaining, accessible guide that helps readers judge which parental cautions are useful, which are harmless superstition, and what those beliefs reveal about culture and how we pass knowledge between generations.
