"Dave Meurer is purely and simply a comic genius. He finds humor in everything he does and everywhere he goes and brings us along for the ride. As a new father, I found it to be one of the most genuinely funny books I've ever read."

Phil Midling

Editor and Publisher of The Clarion

"Very funny stuff! This is a great 'guy' book even if you're not a guy. The ballistic diaper chapter alone is well worth the price. One word of caution: Do not attempt to read while drinking milk (unless you enjoy snorting milk out your nose)."

Laura Jensen Walker

Author of Dated Jekyll, Married Hyde and Love Handles for the Romantically Impaired

"-hilarious. I laughed out loud throughout the book. But Dave Meurer is not just funny. He's insightful and clever in the way he takes simple, real experiences and translates them into meaningful reflections on parenthood. Parenting is serious business. And perhaps because it is so serious, we need to take it a little less seriously and enjoy the ride."

Timothy R. Holler,

Assistant Professor of Psychology, Crichton College

"Raising boys and being a Christian go together like gasoline and matches. What a blast! Fortunately, Dave Meurer can get you out alive, laughing, and even a little smarter."

David Kopp

Father of four sons, Senior Editor of Christian Parenting Today, and coauthor of Praying the Bible for Your Children

Every Harried Parent Needs an Industrial-Sized

Dose of Laughter, and Dave Meurer Provides It.

From the Publisher

A Side-Splitting Guide for Parents Raising Boys
Bookshelves today are filled with insightful parenting guides culled from the most brilliant minds in family and child psychology ready to meet your every question with answers compiled from years of research and diligent study. This is not one of those books.

Boyhood Daze, by humorist Dave Meurer, is an admittedly incomplete guide to the enigma that is a boy growing up. With his ongoing years as father of two boys as his credentials, Meurer steps back, takes a look at the big questions—"If I can’t get my boy to eat zucchini, how in the world will I mold him into a mature and responsible adult?"—and shrugs. He doesn’t know the answers...but he does know that you’re not alone in your questions.

With wit and insight, Meurer welcomes readers into his own home and relates, with great humor, the trials, tribulations, laughs, and great joys of being a parent to a boy. With chapters on communication ("Boys: Just Ignoring You, or Truly Clueless?"), personal appearance ("Paying Money to Look Dumb"), and vacations, (If God Had Intended Us to Live in the Forest, He Wouldn’t Have Given Us Mortgage Bankers) Boyhood Daze is the perfect book for grandparents, parents, soon-to-be parents, or people you simply want to scare out of having kids. Meurer is sure to join Barbara Johnson, Dave Barry, and Patsy Clairmont as one of the most beloved humorists.
