Bent Out of Shape But Not Broken (Yet)
Bestselling author Clint Edwards clues readers into the (literal) back-breaking work that is being a parent with this all-too-real collection of stories. Like the time he tried to impress his daughter with a double back flip at a trampoline park or when he attempted to run a 5K with his 8-year-old, both of which have left him acutely aware of his own physical limitations.
Parenthood can push you to the brink both physically and mentally, but it’s in those moments of hardship where you find the greatest reward. This book perfectly displays this sentiment with essays like Hell is Teaching Your Kiddo How to Read, Enforcing the Rules Turns me From Walter White to Heisenberg, and many other hilariously real stories from the front lines of parenting. With his signature insight and wit, Edwards is sure to show you how to laugh through the tears and appreciate the effort in your exhaustion.

Clint Edwards hasn't crapped his pants since freshman year, but tomorrow is another day. You can read more about Clint at No Idea What I'm Doing: A Daddy Blog. It's been featured on Good Morning America, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. But that's not the real reason to read it. The real reason is that it will give you a glimpse into the steamy world of adult married life with children, and because he sometimes writes about farts.
