“Mom, did you fart?” When your own child says this loudly on a crowded bus, you might feel like fainting or calmly respond, “No sweetheart, that must have been the trumpet beetle under my neighbor's seat…” Everyday life with children can be nerve-wracking and drive you crazy. But with humor, everything becomes easier. Christa Budde and Stefanie Burr, both mothers of three children each, share with a wink the daily experiences of beleaguered mothers, stressed fathers, and imaginative children. 29 entertaining stories from family life capture moments of hope and serenity. When you close the book, you'll realize: life with children is incredibly beautiful!.
