Publisher's summary

Life is never peaceful in Chris Erskine's house, what with the four kids, 300-pound beagle, chronically leaky roof, and long-suffering wife, Posh. And that's exactly the way he likes it, except when he doesn't.

Every week in the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune (and now and then in many other papers), Erskine distills, mocks, and makes us laugh at the absurdities of suburban fatherhood. And now, he's gathered the very best of these witty and wise essays - and invited his kids (and maybe even Posh) to annotate them with updated commentary, which they promise won't be too snarky.

This handsome book is the perfect gift for the father who would have everything - if he hadn't already given it all to his kids.

I really enjoyed this book. It allows you to visualize the scene because he provides so much description and details.

Adored This Book

I have followed Chris Erskine in the LA Times for years! This compilation of many of his articles is filled with The trials and tribulations of life I told in typical Chris Erskine style, with humor. This is a book I will keep readily available to listen to over and over again!
