Just Like Dad Says

A Book of Dad's Wit

Summary

'I won't lie to you, fatherhood isn't easy like motherhood' - Homer Simpson

Fathers come in many guises - wise or silly, strict or kind. They can make you laugh and they can make you cringe. They can drive you home and they can drive you mad ...

In Just Like Dad Says, wise and witty words from the likes of Billy Connolly, Jerry Seinfeld, Spike Milligan and Homer Simpson cover everything from the joy of being a new dad to waving kids off as they - finally - leave home.

Old and new, laugh-out-loud funny or wickedly dry, Just Like Dad Says is the best ever collection of quotes by and about Dad.

'My father only hit me once - but he used a Volvo' - Bob Monkhouse

'Even very young children need to be informed about dying. Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child. This will make threatening him with it much more effective' - P.J. O'Rourke
