Dad Is Fat

In Dad is Fat, stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan, who€s best known for his legendary riffs on Hot Pockets, bacon, manatees, and McDonald's, expresses all the joys and horrors of life with five young children€"everything from cousins ("celebrities for little kids") to toddlers€ communication skills (€œthey always sound like they have traveled by horseback for hours to deliver important news€), to the eating habits of four year olds (€œthere is no difference between a four year old eating a taco and throwing a taco on the floor€). Dad is Fat is sharply observed, explosively funny, and a cry for help from a man who has realized he and his wife are outnumbered in their own home.
