Stand-up comic and comedy writer Carol Leifer faced a critical dilemma and had only two options: either continue sharing her greatest childhood memory (seeing the Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1966) or lie about her age. But the choice soon became clear: โI see now that when you deny your age, you deny yourself, and when you lie about your age, you become your inauthentic twin. But most important, when you lie about your age, they win. (And of course by โthey,โ I mean the terrorists).โ Now, in this uproarious book, Leifer reveals allโher age, her outlook, her life philosophyโno holds barred.
โข On technology: โI am overwhelmed by anything that involves a cord.โ โข On motherhood: โNever put your babyโs length on a birth announcement. Itโs a baby, not a marlin.โ โข On collagen injections: โYour lips are not meant to be flotation devices for your face in case it capsizes.โ โข On tattoos: โIf you plan on having your loverโs name tattooed on your arm, always leave room before it for a possible โI Hateโ down the road.โ โข On etiquette: โNever refer to a woman as โmaโam,โ even if sheโs ninety years old. Nobody likes it.โ
After years of stand-up and a wave of successful television shows, Carol Leifer finally (and hilariously) puts it all down on paperโthe wise thoughts, witty stories, and wonderfully way-out observations guaranteed to have you nodding in agreement and laughing out loud in sheer delight.
