{"product_id":"9780615937052","title":"Big Boy's Pants: Tattoos and Baby Food - A Boy's Guide to Life","description":"Having a son taught me that NO ONE is qualified to be a parent and the only difference between a good parent and a bad parent is the level of effort. As much as I hated my parents growing up, as miserable as I was as a teenager, as painful as my entire formative years were, I can still sit, enthralled, listening to my father tell a story about the time he and Davy Crockett defended The Alamo against the Cossacks with a can opener and a Bowie Knife.\u003cbr\u003eAnd that is what happened with this book. I set out to write a simple collection of essays, stories and columns I'd had printed about being a stay-at-home dad. It just kind of happened. I wrote the jokes, stories, columns and essays that comprise this book on a spurt of head-slapping motivation, proofed it and found, to my surprise, that it was, in every possible way, a book by a father for his son; a letter, a long night around a bonfire, sharing stories while bragging, telling jokes and drinking bear.\u003cbr\u003eIt's a Man's book. It's a book ABOUT Men, BY a Man and it's my fondest hope one little boy in particular will read it and transition over just a little easier into the fraternal brother- hood. Because nobody tells you how to be a Man. No one gives you a manual and a head-start. Your parents meet, have sex, and you get launched into the universe with a rudimentary understanding of things.\u003cbr\u003e\"That kind of negligence could get a guy killed!\" - Nescher\u003cbr\u003ePyscher, 2013 From the pages of Nescher Pyscher's hilarious, eclectic and completely auto-biographical romp from infancy to successful, full-on masculinity: \"Tattoos and Baby Food -A Boy's Guide to Life.\"","brand":"W \u0026 B Publishers Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050969678064,"sku":"9780615937052","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780615937052_p0.jpg?v=1763601613","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780615937052","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
