Dadisms

Think your father attended some secret seminar on decoding cryptic remarks? This guide suggests he may have, since it claims Dads have their own hidden vocabulary. Its pages translate the phrases every family knows into plain English.

Take "Go ask your mother," the warning "Don't make me pull this car over," or the baffling "Do you think I'm made of money?" Each one gets a fresh, modern reading, delivered with a wink and a bit of insight into what Dad really meant.

Laid out as an easy-to-flip reference, the book suits anyone who has ever been left puzzling over a father's words, whether parent, child, or someone who has just married into the family.
