A brilliantly funny exploration of the twin mysteries of
parenthood and families from the Pulitzer Prize winner and
New York Times–bestselling author of Insane
City.
In his New York Times–bestselling I’ll Mature
When I’m 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 (he’s
serious about that title: “When my daughter can legally
commence dating—February 24, 2040—I intend to monitor her
closely, even if I am deceased”) to funeral instructions (“I
would like my eulogy to be given by William Shatner”), the
differences between male and female friendships, the deeper
meaning of Fifty Shades of Grey, and a father’s ultimate
sacrifice: accompanying his daughter to a Justin Bieber
concert (“It 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 badgers”).
Let’s 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!
