If you can say the title without laughing, you have spent one too many days in the trenches of child-rearing. I got my hands on this audio book on a day when I discovered that my fourth grader, who is seeing a psychologist for depression, is doing second grade level math with no intention of changing, and my eight grader broke my key board by putting a package on it. (If you notice that I type more than one "E", it is because it is sticking.) I neeeeeeeed this book.
I haven't finished the second disc yet, but I can assure you that it is very funny, and I am only in the newborn section. The author, who is from Jackson, Mississippi, reads with a sweetly absurd drawl, that simply polishes the whole experience. Most of us, if we had known what was coming, never would have so blithely said, "let's have a baby!" (Frankly, I think Cathy needs to read it also, while she is waiting for the plumber.)
Enjoy the performance of this book. Because, God knows, it's too late to do anything else.

Liz, 'enjoy the PERFORMANCE of this book'. You should write for the NY Times book review. But don't go looking because I need you on the sunlgass front.
