From the Back Cover

"This book is a celebration of boyhood in all its glory."--Dr. Kevin Leman, bestselling author, Have a New Kid by Friday

Boys. You find them climbing through windows, hanging off the roof, and rummaging through the refrigerator. They leave a path of destruction in their wake and force you to make rules you never dreamed you'd need. But a life with boys is one of the most exuberant, hilarious, and unexpectedly rewarding ones you can have as a mom.

This laugh-out-loud book joyfully chronicles the crazy behavior, bizarre conversations, and embarrassing public spectacles that make life with boys cringe-worthy--and oh-so-special.
