Description
In Dad is Fat, stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan, who's best known for his legendary riffs on Hot Pockets, bacon, manatees, and McDonald's, expresses all the joys and horrors of life with five young children-everything from cousins (ocelebrities for little kidso) to toddlers' communication skills (othey always sound like they have traveled by horseback for hours to deliver important newso), to the eating habits of four year olds (othere is no difference between a four year old eating a taco and throwing a taco on the flooro). Dad is Fatis sharply observed, explosively funny, and a cry for help from a man who has realized he and his wife are outnumbered in their own home.
