These are true stories, but some names have been changed to protect the author"s butt. It would best be described as a humorous collection of life snapshots. It"s about growing up in the 1960s and awkward circumstances we found ourselves in. It"s about being parents of small children at the turn of the 21st century and living out those TV commercial like situations parents can only hope to survive. The stories are designed to give the reader an emotional boost as they sip their morning coffee, perhaps giggle a little bit, then face the challenging day ahead.
