Dadisms - What He Says and What He Really Means (Gift Books from Hallmark)

DADISMS WHAT HE SAYS AND WHAT HE REALLY MEANS Dadisms (N.): Those idiomatic sayings Dad uses to cajole, shame, motivate, inspire, threaten, and - most of the time - bewilder his offspring. Dadisms (The book): A hilarious Parent-to-English guide to the true meaning of such sayings as: Dadisms #13. "No pain, no gain." A somewhat feeble attempt at motivational speaking, this one is used to inspire a child to run one more lap, lift one more bushel, or endure one more round of multiplication tables. Kids really hate this one. Dadism #79. "I'm Not sleeping; I was just resting my eyes." A defensive move, this ism is used when Dad gets busted sneaking a nap on the couch while watching TV.
