This book is an epic tale of the world of parenting. If you are anywhere close to a child, including rentals, you’ll find this book to be practically worthless.

If you want a good laugh, please, please, order a book. As part of my introductory offer, if you order 200 books or more, I’ll change the name of one of my sons to whatever you want. Really! Even “Bernie.” Any comments or special requests, please send them along to:
