Let's Panic About Babies! is a book I wrote with the delightful Alice Bradley. You will like it if you are currently pregnant, if you have children, or if you have absolutely no intention of having children. Not just because it's funny, but because you can burn it to stay warm.
Clicking on the cover will take you to the publisher's web site, clicking here will take you to Amazon.com, or, you can go to Let's Panic! the web site, preview some of the material in the book, and read a whole lot of bonus stuff we post for free when we feel like it, which isn't often anymore. It's a full-time job managing the enormous wealth that comes from writing a fake parenting book.

I do believe I detect a hint of bershon in the barbershop picture.
When we were little (pre-k, 1st, 2nd grade) it was permanent buzz cuts for us boys. no choice. A few years later the hair started getting longer. I still remember my dad taking me to get my hair cut at the beginning of summer and getting a buzz cut. I cried my heart out.
Every summer we called out brother DTB as in Dirty Tennis Ball!
My son always wants his head shaved for the summer and I hate it. My partner doesn’t feel as strongly and owns clippers. I went to my reunion a couple of weeks ago and came home to find she had shaved his head.
I can’t help myself…I think if he had tiny black jack boots he would look like a skinhead.
I am a parent, but neither “new” nor “urban.” Can I still read Babble? Or do I need to purchase a guest pass for hillbillies? As long as I don’t have to ride the elevator, ’cause that there uppity-box makes me a mite nervous.
I think I need a nap already, because that was me trying to be FUNNY. I blame tick fever.
Get him a mullet like I just had.
