Dadisms: What He Says and What He Really Means By Cathy Hamilton

This Parent-to-English guidebook is a hilarious primer on understanding the true meaning of parental communication.

Those who suspect that their fathers took closely guarded secret courses instructing them on "the significance of enigmatic utterances" won't be surprised to learn there are indeed clandestine languages for Dads. And here is the book that deciphers them.

Finally, Dad's ambiguous responses like "Go ask your mother," cryptic commands such as "Don't make me pull this car over," and the puzzling question, "Do you think I'm made of money?" are explained in comic detail in this handy reference. Interpreted for the new century, each one is translated with tongue-in-cheek humor and insight.
