'BLUE BALLS' Brings Humor to Parenting

Sleepless nights, dirty diapers, the fear of missing out on the best preschool in town. No doubt about it, being a parent is tough.

Fortunately, there are many fringe benefits, and author Sunshine Sweet has conveniently collected some of them in Blue Balls: Parenting is Dirty Business.

Even though we try to watch what we say when little ears are present, we sometimes slip up. Colloquialisms like "blue balls," innocent phrases like "I want a boy toy" at the fast food franchise, or "your package is huge" at the post office are just waiting to sneak into our conversations with kids.

When the adults on hand laugh uproariously, the children look at us like we've lost our minds, and a little moment of grace in the pressure cooker of parenthood is achieved.

Collected by Sunshine Sweet and delightfully illustrated by Emmi Ojala, Blue Balls: Parenting is Dirty Business allows us to enjoy a few chuckles while we tackle the serious work of raising kids in the 21st century.
