Gaffigan tells of his life living in a small 2 bedroom apartment in NYC, where he and his wife are raising 5 children. His love and wonder of parenting the 5 little ones really comes through in this hilarious autobiography. Parenting is most definitely nerve racking, amusing, chaotic, and joyous; and if you're a parent, you will relate to much of Gaffigan's experiences.

If the book can be summarized in one of Gaffigan's own quotes, it is that "Toddlers love to tell you secrets, especially when you are wearing a white shirt and they've been eating chocolate." :-D
