DADDY NEEDS A DRINK
by Robert Wilder
FROM THE BOOK JACKET:
With an artist wife and two kids--a daughter, Poppy, and a
son, London--Robert Wilder considers himself as open
minded as the next man. Yet even he finds himself
parentally challenged when his toddler son, London,
careens around the house in the buff or asks the kind of
outrageous, embarrassing questions only a kid can ask.
In this entertaining and heartwarming book, Wilder, a
Santa Fe high school teacher, waxes both profound and
profane on issues close to a father's heart--from
exploding diapers to toddler tantrums, from the horrors of
dressing up as Frosty the Snowman to the moments that make
a father proud. Brilliantly capturing the joys and
absurdities of being a parent today, he shares warmly
funny stories on everything from sleep deprivation to why
school-sponsored charities can turn otherwise sane adults
into blithering and begging idiots. By turns tender,
irreverent, and laugh-out-loud funny, "Daddy Needs a
Drink" is a hilarious and poignant tribute to his family
by a man who truly loves being a father.

The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought of
their act as violence;
rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness.
The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever
committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944)
