13 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A cute, funny collection of clips from Dave Barry's columns over the years. Anything funny he wrote about parenting. You can read it in an hour or less and it would make a good gift book for a parent.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This guy has a dry unique sense of humor. So thankful for those of us who got through the terrible twos only to have teenagers and decide having kids was a terrible idea. At least his humor can help one make it through to the young adult "I told ya so" years I'm hoping for.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Even if you aren’t a parent, you will appreciate the humor in this little book. It runs the gamut from babies to teenage sons, and all the problems that occur between those ages. Babies have one very large gland, known as the drool gland, and teenagers have one great desire, to go as fast as possible in whatever vehicle is available. See the world through Dave Barry’s eyes - it’s a trip and a half.
