About this ebook
“Hands down, the best humor book about family life I have ever read.” —Nikki Knepper, author of Moms Who Drink and Swear
Comedian/blogger/family man Jason Good delivers a laugh-out-loud reminder that everything is easier and more fun when approached with a sense of humor—especially parenting. Each list in this book captures a perfect (or perfectly terrible) aspect of parenthood while at the same time wholeheartedly embracing every moment: “You Deserve a Break” offers ideas for downtime, such as giving blood and untangling cords, while “Self-Help from a Three-Year-Old” collects such wisdom as “If you fall down, stay down. Someone will pick you up eventually.” Sweet, sincere, and painfully funny, This is Ridiculous, This is Amazing is ideal for parents who could use a laugh—and isn’t that every single one of them?
“His blog is great, but his first book is even better.” —Parade
“Parents will appreciate Good’s offbeat outlook and quirky one-liners.” —Publishers Weekly
