Synopsis

I'd gone to college. I'd written for the New York Times. I had a solid credit score. How did I end up here?

After his breakout hit book I'm Sorry . . . Love, Your Husband, Clint Edwards has more laugh-out-loud tales, this time from the "terrible twos" and "threenager" phases each of his kids went through.

His relatable toddler stories leave parents and caregivers cackling, and remind us all that no one is the perfect parent. In fact, sometimes the only thing that gets Clint through the day is thinking about when his kids grow up . . . and all the ways he can finally exact his revenge. Like leaving a leaky sippy cup full of milk to rot under the back seat of his daughter's car, or waking up at 4 a.m. to incessantly ask his son for a cheese stick.

With essays like Locking Doors Is Hilarious Until the Fire Department Arrives, Poop Doesn't Go Easily Down a Tub Drain, Dad's Never the Favorite, and Face It—You'll Never Pee Alone, Clint knows exactly what's "terrible" about the twos . . . and threes.

As the mother of ten kids, five of whom are currently in the toddler stage, Silence is a Scary Sound is incredibly relatable (silence is a terrifying sound when it’s my 2-year-old somewhere in the house not making any noise). It’s incredibly honest about so many things including no sleep and lots of......more

Goodreads review by Ashley on July 09, 2020

This just wasn’t a book targeted for me. You’d think anyone with young kids should enjoy it, but I hated hearing story after story of crazy things the authors kids did. Also, it was way over exaggerated. I know I don’t have the most well behaved kids, but they haven’t gotten anywhere close to what h......more

Very funny! Loved the humor in which the author used to explain life with 2 and 3 year olds.......more
