Jennings separates myth from fact to humorously debunk a wide variety of parental edicts: no swimming after meals, sit up straight, don't talk to strangers, you'll get worms from cookie dough, and so on.

What Passes For Love - A Collection Of Short Stories
What Passes For Love is a collection of short stories about the dynamics of male-female relationships. These ten short stories by Stan Rogal resonate with the many mating rituals of men and women: paranoia, obsession, voyeurism, and even assimilation. Rogal's writing reflects his honesty and brashness previously seen in two books of poetry and published stories. What Passes For Love is illustrated with the paintings of Kirsten Johnson.
