Two-Word Book Review: Dad Is Fat

Here are your two words:

Family Friendly (ha ha... because he devotes a whole chapter of his book talking about how he hates being labeled "family friendly")

The book "Dad Is Fat" by comedian Jim Gaffigan is not only funny because it's true (so frighteningly true), but it's also a better way to prepare for parenthood than getting a puppy.  For one, it's cheaper.  For two, you don't have to clean up after it.

Forget "if we can raise a puppy, we can raise a child" logic.
You should be thinking, "if we can finish this book and still want children, we should have children."
I've raised less than half the number of children Mr. G is raising, and after reading less than half of his book, I didn't want children anymore.

If you are considering having children, read this book.  You'll think it's funny because you think he's being funny.
If you have children, read this book.  You'll think it's funny because you know it's true and if you weren't laughing, you'd be crying.
If you will never have children, read this book.  You'll think it's hysterical because you are too smart to have gotten suckered into having children.

Mostly, read this book because Jim is raising five kids and he needs the income.
