This Crazy Little Thing Called Life
I Was Born with It (And Other Lies Parents Tell Their Children)
by Carolyn Joyce Dodds
Carolyn Joyce Dodds lives in Northern California where she raised her two grown sons. She is a retired syndicated newspaper columnist and is now passionate about her role as a special education teacher and reading specialist. Carolyn has an extensive background as a behavior modification therapist, working with all ages of children and young adults on the autism spectrum. This Crazy Little Thing Called Life or I Was Born with It (And Other Lies Parents Tell Their Children) is the second in her long line of humorous suburban life and children's books.
Parenting two young boys, one with special needs, gives Carolyn a great deal of fodder for her columns. Anecdotal stories written around tantrums, flaming toilets, bees in the car, and family vacations are told in a humorous way that bring levity to otherwise exhausting situations. Carolyn's quick wit and comedic timing are matched with her uncanny ability to speak fluent sarcasm. All give way to eight years of syndicated newspaper columns enjoyed by thousands of readers. This Crazy Little Thing Called Life is an anthology of columns previously published. The series received the the Best Humor Column Award by the National Newspaper Association in 2005.
The book features anecdotal tales chronicling family life and parenting challenges in suburban 21st Century America. For almost a decade, Carolyn has been entertaining newspapers readers in California with her wild life experiences and hilarious autobiographical exploits. The misadventures of Carolyn and her family will not disappoint. Carolyn delivers the goods in a golden format, which will have readers of all ages coming back for more.
