Description:
Julia Sweeney, the delightful former cast member ofSaturday Night Live, takes readers into the depths of her family in this hilarious and unique parenting book.Since her time onSaturday Night Live,where she created the infamous androgynous character “Pat,”Julia Sweeney has gone on to establish herself as a witty, captivating performer of one-woman shows, likeGod Said Ha!, In the Family Way,andLetting Go of God. She gave a TED talk sharing how she explained the birds and the bees to her eight-year-old daughter, Mulan, which ignited an incredible response. Now, when it comes to talking about motherhood, people want to hear what Julia has to say.If It’s Not One Thing, It’s Your Motheris her… compilation of stories, revealing her painfully funny adventures and her poignant personal story of deciding to adopt as a single woman, her transition to traditional family after she married and took on the new role of at-home mother, and her insightful open-eyed wonder at the whole concept of motherhood for herself and others, too.From being mistaken as her daughter’s grandmother to her theory that people who can’t make friends often resort to making children, Julia imparts a cutting edge, contemporary take on parenting, displaying a definite appreciation for the absurd. Poignant, provocative, and wise, Julia writes about parenting as only she can, laying out her mother-daughter experiences with religion, nannies, pets, schools, and much more.A joy to read, this is one of the most amusing, and at times powerful, modern books on parenting.
