A brilliantly funny exploration of the twin mysteries of parenthood and families from the Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Timesโbestselling author of Insane City.
In his New York Timesโbestselling Iโll Mature When Iโm Dead, Dave Barry embarked on the treacherous seas of adulthood, to hilarious results. What comes next? Parenthood, of course, and families.
In uproarious, brand-new pieces, Barry tackles everything from family trips, bat mitzvah parties and dating (heโs serious about that title: โWhen my daughter can legally commence datingโFebruary 24, 2040โI intend to monitor her closely, even if I am deceasedโ) to funeral instructions (โI would like my eulogy to be given by William Shatnerโ), the differences between male and female friendships, the deeper meaning of Fifty Shades of Grey, and a fatherโs ultimate sacrifice: accompanying his daughter to a Justin Bieber concert (โIt turns out that the noise teenaged girls make to express happiness is the same noise they would make if their feet were being gnawed off by badgersโ).
Letโs face it: families not only enrich our lives every day, they drive us completely around the bend. Thank goodness we have Dave Barry as our guide!
