You know that overprotective PTA mom who needs to be resuscitated after she finds out you fed her son a hotdog? Or that couple who sends out the annual holiday letter about how their little Timmy came up with an alternative to fossil fuels while you're proud of simply replacing the lint catcher in your dryer once a year? You'll meet them again in Lauren Allison and Lisa Perry's laugh-out-loud compendium. Allison and Perry take on soccer moms, video dads, rabid gardeners, and grating couples in this collection of short, punchy essays. Less-than-perfect moms and dads everywhere will be sure to relate to the authors' portraits of the most annoying people around! Lisa Perry has been a practicing clinical psychologist for the past eighteen years. She presents seminars on humor and creativity to women's groups, businesses, and corporations. Lauren Allison is a successful businesswoman with years of experience in speaking to businesses and organizations. They teamed up in 2003 to provide entertaining seminars to women's groups across the country. Plenty of gut-busting fun . . . sardonic, Sedaris-like essays. Kirkus
