Synopsis: &“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
