Humor
Part of that new math, says #1 New York Times
bestselling author Jill Conner Browne -- whom USA
Today calls "just plain funny" -- includes the addition
of an outsize sense of humor to balance the equation of your
growing family. The Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to
Raising Children for Fun and Profit is a hilarious
(though not scientifically tested) wink at the time-honored
mysteries of parenting, because anybody who has ever had a
kid or has ever known one knows that the experience is
neither fun nor profitable -- so you might as well
laugh! As each generation begins its hopeful, happy, and,
yes, sometimes harrowing journey as Parent and Child,
together they spawn a new body of "knowledge," the nuances
of which will elude the Experts every time. Here are stories
of the things we do for Mother Love -- or, the most
incredibly full-time volunteer job ever -- and tips
guaranteed not to be found in any other parenting guide.
- How to talk to a pregnant woman
- How the
diamonds on delivery policy can speed up the labor nature
intended
- Why a good mother is always adept at
subterfuge
- The list of things you wouldn't think
you would have to tell kids not to do
- Why mothers
of sons can never retire
- Why, for parents, it's
just a short drive to the poorhouse
The
Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to Raising Children for Fun and
Profit will have everyone who's ever been a parent -- or
has ever thought of becoming one -- or has ever been a child
-- or is still one -- giggling and grinning (no small feat)
through those childbearing years...and beyond.
