Description
Sometimes wise, occasionally funny, wildly hypocritical but always on the money, The Aussie Dad's Book of Sometimes Helpful Responses puts the right words in your mouth to steer you and your loved ones through life's thorniest questions and daily dilemmas.
In the bestselling tradition of The Book of Answers comes the full quiver of quips, wisdoms, clichés, casual buck-passing, and vintage Australianisms to arm yourself against the barrage of questions from family and mates (and sometimes even yourself, if you need a good talking-to).
Just place your hand on the cover, close your eyes, speak your question to the book, open to any page and—fair dinkum—you'll have your answer! Whether your son's got Buckley's, your daughter's dreamin', your mate needs to wake up to himself, or you want your partner to know it's sorted, all the answers to a bloke's world are right between the covers of The Aussie Dad's Book of Sometimes Helpful Responses.
