ALL YOU NEED FOR FATHER’S DAY IS COFFEE…AND A LITTLE SLEEP?

Father’s Day Press Release (PDF)

Seattle – When Father’s Day starts at 12:01 a.m. and sleeping in is not an option, give the father in your life a dose of humor this year with the new collection of essays and anecdotes, Why Chicken Nuggets are Better than Prozac and Other Observations from an Over-Caffeinated Dad. Written by humorist and blogger Kirk Enright, the book pokes fun at the occasionally absurd realities of 21st Century parenting.

Any parent who has ever witnessed an act of bad parenting, struggled to actually implement the advice of an afternoon talk-show expert, or just visited the Department of Motor Vehicles on a typical Tuesday morning, will find this book a fun read and a relatable release for our overly-scheduled lives.

“This book is for anyone who ever feels like parenting would be a whole lot easier if it weren’t for kids,” explained Enright.  “When you think about it, every day is Father’s Day.  This just happens to be the one time of year we get cake, cards and presents, which is probably good, because who needs the calories?”

“Enright tackles parenting issues with a funny twist that will bring a smile to your face,” wrote Amy Mendenhall of MOV Parent. “ From a conversation with a 4-year-old about why it’s not polite to talk about whether or not a stranger is fat, to reminiscing about family trips of yore, to parents complaining about never going out (but not wanting to go out either)… There’s plenty of funny and relatable stories inside this little book for both moms and dads and will give you that extra boost of cheer for the day.”
