I came across this book, Sh*t My Dad Says by Justin Halpern while surfing the days' bestsellers at work one day and absolutely had to put it on hold. My friend's son do not call me 'potty mouth' for nothing!
Firstly, best title ever! Secondly, the format is perfect for this hilarious piece of non-fiction. And lastly, because my own Dad's favorite saying was something like 'lord dying dancing devils on the lot of ya', it is even more funny to know that Halpern's own father was like this.
Now, I cannot and will not give too much away with this unique piece, but I will pick out my favourite quote from 'Dad'. It goes a little like this, On Today's Hairstyles "Do people your age know how to comb their fucking hair? It looks like two squirrels crawled on their head and started fucking" (149). Now this so funny to me, especially since my Dad would have something to say every time my Mom, my sisters, and I would come home with a new hair cut or hair colour. He would always say Mom's hair looked like a birds nest and laugh!
My Dad currently is balding, but in a very gentlemanly way and keeps what is there very short. That is Karma Dad!
If you haven't read this, and do not mind a whole lot of vulgar language content, you must read it. And then tell me your favourite quote.
