Description
Praise for Fraternal Youth¿ "Mix Jim Gaffigan, Erma Bombeck and Pee Wee Herman into a Darby Smoothie. Add a dash of nonsense that makes perfect sense and you've got a compilation that spans from raising kids to raising hell. I'm an avid fan."- Wendy Parker, satirist for Overdrive Magazine
¿ "Darby stunned me with this book. It's happy, funny, sad and weird - all the things that make up a life well lived, and he tells it with such beauty and momentum. So many chapters swept me away."- Ginger Cook, Substack Humorist
Early ExcerptsI changed my first diaper on August 27, 2007. It smelled like fermented mothballs with a touch of failed dreams. I don't know where those subtle notes came from, but they were good reminders to use birth control.2 years, 8 months oldKids got in trouble at the store. Finn dropped a can of tinned pork on Melina's middle toe. The SPAM survived, but Momma no longer has a piggy that eats roast beef. The toe's still there, but it's a scarred vegetarian now.3 years, 8 months"Finn, didn't you say you'd drink your juice after dinner?""I didn't hear me say that."4 years, 10 months"Shhhh! I heard a sound make a noise." - Fiona5 years, 11 months"Every time you go into war, you should go potty first." - Finn
