a good read

a few weeks ago, marta and summer, wrote about this book,

rules for my unborn son, by walker lamond. lamond wrote this

book as a way to preserve the words of wisdom, bits of advice

and rules that his father told him while growing up, while at the

same time adding a modern day twist.

incidentally, his first son was born shortly after he finished

writing the book.

i was intrigued and thought it would be a good to buy for the

bean's room (it would also make a great baby shower gift).

my precious husband i and stood in the garage,

flipping through the book,

laughing, debating and agreeing with lamond's rules for his unborn son.

these are some of my favorites:

* yes ma' am. no sir. no exceptions.

* make a hipsters day. donate old clothes to charity.

* sit in front of the classroom.

* remember the girl you are with is somebody's sister. and he is

perfectly capable of kicking your ass.

* don't underestimate your fertility.

* let napping dad's lie.

* dont date the bartender.

* when fishing, practice catch and release.

* until you are a doctor, never answer your phone at the table.

* nothing is more important than family.

this is a great book. it has tidbits that we can all benefit from, i cant

wait to share it with the bean.
