It takes a strong person to share her most embarrassing moments with complete strangers. Lawson does so in a heart-to-heart, but dont-pity-me sort of way. I wanted to include the quotes that made me laugh or reflect on my life the most, but I just highlighted way too many to include here. Ill just include the one that sums up the book and Lawsons way of approaching life: you are not defined by lifes imperfect moments, but by your reaction to them. Because there is joy in embracing- rather than running screaming from- the utter absurdity of life.

My biggest takeaway from reading this book: Accept that your dad marches to the beat of a different drum, hug him, and thank him for not waking you up in the middle of the night to entertain you with a dead squirrel puppet show. Thanks, Pop!
