Dad is Fat
By Jim Gaffigan
Since this weekend is father's day, I thought I would discuss a book I bought my husband a while ago so we could read it together. Jim Gaffigan is so flipping funny and my cousin recommended the book. Jim Gaffigan happens to be the father of five children and this book is one of those books that makes parents laugh.
Before children, I never understood how parents could complain or think other people talking about being a parent could be all that funny. Well, now that I am the parent of two awesome but tiring children, I get the humor. But there are always two kinds of parents talking about their kids in a funny way, there are the "my kids drive be crazy but I love them" types, and then there are the "I kinda hate my kids because they are monsters" types. I have never liked the hating on my children type of humor, my kids might be one of the only cool things I do in my life so let's not be too mean. But Gaffigan is down right hilarious in this book and you can tell all of his jokes are out of love.
The book is set up as most stand up comedian books are written, with short chapters that consist of different routines they may have done in the past. This type of book is great for short snippets of reading before bed, and aren't meant to be read for long periods of time.
If you like books written by comedians, you like Jim Gaffigan, you are a parent of young children, or you have a pulse really, read the book. I loved it!
